Trump: I signed a bill to begin funding insane asylums again.
Trump also signed an EO blocking big investment companies from buying up single family homes.Both American mega-corporations like Black Rock and Vanguard and foreign corporations, especially Chinese, have bought up many tens of thousands of homes and properties in the USA between them. These monopolistic efforts exacerbated an already difficult housing market. In his Tuesday executive order, Trump blamed Wall Street investors for "crowding out families seeking to buy homes." He accused:Therefore, Trump requires Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy Kevin Hassett to come up with definitions of "large institutional investor" and "single-family home" within the next 30 days in order to ensure the executive order is implemented.
Hardworking young families cannot effectively compete for starter homes with Wall Street firms and their vast resources. Neighborhoods and communities once controlled by middle-class American families are now run by faraway corporate interests. People live in homes, not corporations. My Administration will take decisive action to stop Wall Street from treating America's neighborhoods like a trading floor and empower American families to own their homes. To preserve the supply of single-family homes for American families and increase the paths to homeownership, it is the policy of my Administration that large institutional investors should not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.
Commentary: Trump Truth Social Posts On XPeople have speculated that this deal could cost us $700 billion, which, in terms you can understand, is equal to eight Somali day care centers. But that's a lot of money for a rock covered in snow and Eskimos. Vodkapundit: Never forget the Obamas' corruption.
@TrumpTruthOnX Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations -- They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (TS: 21 Jan 14:27 ET)
One of Barack Obama's pet projects was a little something called Net Neutrality, and when Trump ended it early during his first term, it literally murdered everybody who had miraculously survived his tax cuts. But the point is that, starting with House of Cards, a little non-black-owned firm called Netflix was poised for explosive growth. Without going too deep into the woods on an old issue, from 2013 (House of Cards launch) to 2015, the 11--15% of Americans streaming Netflix sucked down 30--37% of peak-hour bandwidth -- while paying the same flat rate as everyone else. One solution might be that internet service providers (ISPs) could charge Netflix extra during peak hours. I like that solution, because it incentivizes ISPs to build more bandwidth. Netflix could either eat the charges or pass it along to their customers who were using all that bandwidth. Or ISPs could throttle Netflix's streaming quality -- and here's where things got tricky -- without throttling the quality of the streamers they operated, like Comcast-owned NBCUniversal. ... However, Netflix founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings -- a big-money Obama donor and frequent White House visitor -- continued his extremely vocal support for Net Neutrality, which eventually forbid deals like that one. "Bits are bits," and under Net Neutrality, ISPs couldn't charge more for this bit (Netflix's) than they did for that bit (Nana's latest LOLcat post on Facebook). Even though Netflix was using trillions more bits. ... [O]bama remained a yuge proponent of Net Neutrality going into his second term, railing against "gatekeepers deciding which sites you get to access." But it was never about Comcast blocking you from visiting VeryNaughtySite.com. It was about Netflix and Netflix subscribers getting a free ride -- and how to locate the grift. ... In 2018, safely out of office, the Obamas landed a multi-year Netflix production deal reportedly worth at least $50 million (according to various sources like the New York Post), through Higher Ground Productions, churning out award bait nobody streams. This was one of the most visible examples of post-office windfall politics in modern history, and hardly anyone blinked. I mean, look at the virtually unwatched content Higher Ground Productions made: American Factory (2019 Oscar-winning documentary)
Crip Camp (2020 Oscar nominee)
Becoming (2020 Michelle Obama documentary)
Exit West (upcoming scripted series)
Rustin (2023 film on civil rights leader Bayard Rustin)
Leave the World Behind (2023 apocalyptic thriller) If you hadn't heard of those, you aren't alone -- neither had I, and I'm paid to follow this stuff. But the Obamas certainly took home enough Netflix money to "buy everyone."

Its not as bad as one might think. We "borrowed" buyers from the future during Covid when rates were dropped into the 2's and 3's, and as a result the market has been dramatically slower the last couple of years. If one drew a line showing "typical" growth in housing prices, we're about where one would expect, but with ups and downs in the data rather than a gradual curve upwards.

Trump 2.0 has a team of true killers working the legal side of his stuff. Each action is covered by multiple authorities that have to be unwound individually. They also have mountains of precedent.
So yes, district court judges can throw injunctions, but they always fall, and as time passes, more of Trump's stuff sticks. It was always a stopgap measure.

We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors.
We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids.
We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors.

Trump Objects to Queer Starmer's Giveway of Critical Chagos Islands
The important Indian Ocean base of Diego Garcia is located at these islands.
President Trump has called the U.K.'s decision to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius -- a deal his administration previously supported -- an act of "great stupidity" that further justified his desire for the U.S. to acquire Greenland. One of the islands, Diego Garcia, is the site of a key U.K.-U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean. "Shockingly, our 'brilliant' NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER," Mr. Trump said early Tuesday on his own Truth Social platform. "There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before. The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP." Mr. Trump issued his statement as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson, a Republican, was in the U.K. to address the British parliament, where he told lawmakers the U.S. and U.K. had "always been able to work through our differences calmly as friends. We will continue to do that. I want to assure you this morning that that is still the case." The Chagos Islands were separated from Mauritius, which was then a British colony, in 1965.The UK paid Mauritius for the islands, but Mauritius is claiming the deal was unfair. Queer Starmer claims that Trump reversed his previous OK to pressure the UK over Greenland.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer went after President Trump on Wednesday for reversing position on a deal surrounding the Chagos Islands, suggesting the president did so because of tensions over his plan to acquire Greenland. "I made out my position on Greenland absolutely clear on Monday and a moment ago. President Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House," Starmer said in the House of Commons. "He deployed those words yesterday for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland," he added, emphasizing he would not give in.
President Trump is absolutely right to point out the staggering stupidity of the United Kingdom handing over the strategically vital Chagos Islands to a country more than 1,200 miles away that has no connection to them (and that happens to be a vassal of China), purely as an act… pic.twitter.com/wLD0u3PBGY

What I have heard (not paying close attention) is that Mauritius was never culturally close to Chagos, and that the Brits moved the Chagosians to Mauritius as required.
This presents two problems.
1. Why give it to Mauritius, as they have nothing to do with that land.
1. Now that there are native Chagoisians identified, and they are not Mauritiusavians, UK law states that they can not "sell" the land to anyone, but instead have to some how repatriate the Chagoisains (I am not really clear on this bit, I just know that the originally planned deal is now considered a violation of UK law.)
Also, it is important to note that
- Mauritius is totally controlled by China
- The deal would give $7.8 trillion dollars to every Mauritiusavian, (or something like that.)
- And absolutely no MP or Lords were paid by CCP to facilitate this nonsense

That is the point.
I think the UK surrender of land to China's vassal keeps a 99 year lease of Diego Garcia.
I'll be dead by the time the lease expires, so I don't care... unless Mauritius comes back a few months later and claims the lease is "not fair" and UK capitulates again.

During the Israel-US - Iran dust up last year we used that base as a distraction. B-2's from Whiteman AFB here in the US were used for that raid. We even moved aircraft off that airbase because Iran had ballistic missile capable of reaching it.

>>> We should eschew real connections with people we know and replace them with media connections who will never even know our names.
I know it's sarcasm. But the sad thing is that I had family and friends I adored my whole life. And ever since 2016, many of them transformed into Karen Covidians valuing security over freedom (and as Ben Franklin warned us, getting neither), with rampant TDS. And they chose to sever ties with me.
So while it's a joke, there are people in little grey boxes here, and talking heads, I suspect would have my back over my own flesh and blood. And it's tragic that I lost them in my life. And I'm far from the only one.

One reason we need sovereignty over critical national security locations like Diego Garcia and Greenland is because the Euro elites are so easily corrupted by Beijing or Moscow or Soros.
There was actually a German Chancellor that was hired by the Russian gas monopoly immediately after leaving office.
But then again, we have our Clintons and Bidens.

Unfortunately, it's looks as though the DFW area is getting an ice storm with areas as far east as Nc and even NJ in the worst situation picking up to a foot of snow.
Ice Storms = downed power lines.
It will be interesting to see who has the most juice to attract the line-men who will need to repair all of this.
I was planning on a four day outage, it might be a few weeks. The only hole-card I have is that the property has working oil wells and no power = no $$$. ETX ethos includes bribes.

"So why are they paying Mauritius and giving it to them?"
Chagos is in the middle on nowhere. The only people there were put there by rubber tree plantation owners or something to tap the trees. (or something. Don't take me seriously as I don't really care enough to remember details.) they were as un-contacted as those guys who throw spears at drones. They all died of the common cold when outsiders showed up.
But, Mauritius is the nearest land so they figure to give it to them. It would be like finding Fiji, and handing it to Hawaii, and paying them quadrillions for the favor.

NOBODY lived on the island before the Europeans arrived. How do you think it got the name Diego Garcia? The French settled it in 1778, and the French Governor of Mauritius granted Monsieur Dupuit de la Faye the island of Diego Garcia. They abandoned it, and it was settled by the British. The British settlement failed, and the French took over turning it into a leper colony. Britian won it back during the Napoleonic wars. 1814 to 1965 Great Briton administered it as part of Mauritius. To settle any dispute, the UK purchased the Chagos Archipelago, which includes Diego Garcia, from the then self-governing colony of Mauritius for £3 million.
The island was never inhabited or colonized by Mauritius. It was only nominally part of their territory when Britian ruled Mauritius.

Between watching the miniseries Victoria and The Crown, one would get a sense that Prime Ministers are at risk all the time of being thrown out of office on a threat of no confidence. Victoria had to play some crazy 3D chess, and give a title to some guy's wife, to get Lord M to stay on as her chosen Prime Minister. It seems like there is a threat of no confidence looming at any given moment.
Can the people just agitate enough there's a vote of no confidence, and the ponce is tossed out of Downing Street?

it was a world dominated by China and the Muslims and how great and peaceful and wealthy the world would've been. And Mother Gaia was all happy and such.

Panama tried to sell out to China, and as it stood in 2024, China effectively controlled both ends of the Canal an in times of war they would have made it impassible to the USA.
Philippines started selling out to China long ago, and for their troubles China claimed territory spitting distance from the Philippine Islands.
Both of these were USA territory and strategic, but China is very aggressive for that very reason. It is very easy to corrupt people into selling out.

Or, alternate version. Reagans plan against the USSR. Destroy their economy by making them go into debt by making them spend too much money on defense.
Especially defending other countries (Warsaw Pact).

But if SHTF, China will attack. That means we have to defend. That means we waste resources defending what was.
This is the Chinese strategy -- Make the cost of defense so high that the USA starts to pull back to our own little island. (North America.)
They *want* fortress America since that gives them free reign over the rest of the world, where they will rape and pillage their way to such great wealth and power that we are irrelevant.
Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 21, 2026 05:40 PM (pKhVe)
China is unlikely to attack, at least in the short run because,
as I've been saying for a long, long time,
China has decided that- "War Is For Suckaz"(TM).
They have been able to achieve almost everything they want with bribes to those in power in gov't and industry.
And WEF made their job easy by loading up high(ish) trust productive societies in the West with 3rd World peasants and yobbos and dismantling their energy production.

Mauritius NEVER "owned" the Chagos Islands. NEVER.
They are over 1000 miles apart. The Republic of Seychelles and the Republic of Maldives are both closer. Hell, Sri Lanka is closer.
At one time the British Administration treated them as an entity (BIOT). That is the claim. Because the colonial British Empire clumped them all together to make it easier on some clerk in Old Blighty, some jumped up clown who stole/bought enough votes on an island a 1000 miles away should determine the fate of strategic US base.

For that matter, it was never inhabited by anyone before the Europeans came along. Neither was Mauritius. The only victim of the "colonization" of Mauritius was the dodo (turns out that mixing hungry sailors with tasty, turkey-sized flightless pigeons with no inborn fear of humans doesn't work out well for the birds).
One could make some argument for handing over Mauritius to the descendants of the slaves who had been imported there (by France, not Britain), but no such argument applies to Diego Garcia. The French didn't even use it as a slave plantation. Unlike Mauritius, Diego Garcia is not suited for agriculture. The French mostly used it as a dumping ground for lepers.

CNN Sissy Accuses Trump of Being "Provably" Part of "Global Sex Trafficking Ring," and Liberal Host Wants to Let the Defamation Stand With No Pushback
It falls to Scott Jennings to object, and to press the leftwing host to even address the major, serious, no-defense-possible defamation that just occurred.
First the host pushes back against Jennings, saying "I'll do the fact-checking here," except he didn't do it and clearly doesn't want to do it. Ultimately Jennings moggs him into offering the weakest possible "Trump hasn't been charged with crimes" fact check, but Berman would have let the defamation stand completely unchecked if not for Jennings' demand. Trump is going to sue CNN, and they'll have to settle, because there is just no defense here. The clown made a false factual statement, not an opinion, and emphasized that he was speaking about what he was claiming was a proven fact by adding the word "provably." And yes, CNN is liable for defamation that one of its panelists speaks on its platform.OvertonAnd only then did he offer his brief, grudging, weak "fact check."
@overton_news A smug 25-year-old leftist activist just got HUMBLED live on CNN by Scott Jennings. Cameron Kasky claimed President Trump was part of a "human sex-trafficking network" -- and for a moment, the panel let it slide. Until @ScottJenningsKY stepped in and FORCED the host John Berman to correct the record for all to hear. KASKY: "So I am appreciative that the president is being transparent about this. I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex-trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win them all." BERMAN: "Cameron's grateful that the president is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland. Scott, what do you think about that?" JENNINGS: "You're going to let that sit? Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring, or...?" BERMAN: "We're going to talk about the Epstein files. Scott... I will do the fact checking as we go along here. Repeat what you said about the global sex trafficking ring." KASKY: "That Donald Trump was provably very involved with it." Berman suddenly realized he was cornered...

@camkasky 20h I would like to retract my comments from CNN last night and truly apologize. Donald Trump was obviously not involved with a giant international child sex trafficking ring where women and children were systematically raped by elites. I said that by accident and didn;t mean it.

4. You only put this out because of real fear that you & your employer will be sued.
5. I’ll bet if your employer is sued…

Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion for deceptively editing his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, to make it appear he told his supporters to storm the Capitol. While that case is ongoing, Trump has had a string of successes with similar lawsuits. Meta agreed to pay $25 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit over his suspension from Facebook. Alphabet paid a $22 million settlement for suspending Trump’s YouTube channel. CBS settled with Trump for $16 million over its deceptive edits of Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview in a blatant attempt at election interference. ABC News settled with Trump for $15 million over George Stephanopoulos’s false claims about him. These companies did not settle out of charity or goodwill.

Oh no! He needs to stay in media, jump from CNN to hosting his own show somewhere. If the media realizes they need to pivot to the center, and hire him as a center-right draw. OR if Elon buys a network, or Trump does after his run as POTUS.
He's great now. But the swamp is SO good at corrupting even the most valiant of our warriors. I don't know what the swamp would do to Scott Jennings, tbh.
Now, Scott Pressler has hinted at a run, he's so done with the feckless spineless GOP not doing anything. He's a valuable on-the-ground warrior. But I actually believe he'd be amazing in congress.

Watch them, this is a line coming from Nick Fuentes and associated crew to dirty Mossad and Israel with Epstein. Coordinated op to hide Democrat complicity.
Have them read the old depositions given in the Epstein Miami trial in the 00's. Those are all public and give a sense of that time and place when Epstein operated out of Miami and Trump had Mar A Lago.
After that, it is clear that Trump had nothing to do with Epstein and in fact his own DoJ charged Epstein and Ghislaine.
Goldman Sachs is faced with the embarrassing fact that their Obama admin lawyer, Katherine Ruemmler, exchanged lots of emails with Ghislaine and Epstein after his conviction in 2008. To the point that the firm may fire her for it.

It started after Trump's stupid 180 degree turn on releasing Epstein files after a visit by Bibi, after having campaigned on total transparency on everything. That led to the ill-advised push for congressional legislation forcing the disclosure.
The president needn't have folded to Bibi on this. One can be certain there is nothing in the files that would lead to the Mossad or the CIA. The FBI would never document such a thing and prosecutor Alex Acosta was told to back away from any intelligence connection many years ago.
We don't know who has custody of the kompromat video recordings of many of America's elite cavorting with underage girls, but we can be certain the answer is not in FBI files.

I am amazed that when called out they are either reduced to sputtering incoherence, or straight up ad hominem attacks.
I rather enjoy it. The best defense for ad hominem attacks is to remain completely nonplussed and point out their nastiness, and then state that proves they have zero rebuttal to my actual factual points.
I might sometimes lose a "friend", but losing a friend that is an unthinking a$$hole is not much of a loss.

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar have both had to issue multiple on-air apologies during their time on The View, re: their comments that occasionally resulted in significant media controversy and, in Goldberg's case, a suspension. Both were forced to apologize for remarks deemed "wrong and hurtful."
MSNBC - Lawrence O'Donnell, Nicolle Wallace, Stephanie Ruhle (more than 1X) and Ali Velshi.
CNN - Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau, and Lex Haris; Manu Raju and Jeremy Herb; Erin Burnett, Christian Amanpour
-----
In 2025 apologies or retractions were made for implying or stating that Donald Trump was involved in a sexual misconduct or sex trafficking ring by James Carville & The Daily Beast.
>Democratic strategist James Carville apologized and removed a podcast episode and video that suggested a connection between Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald Trump. The apology followed a letter from Melania Trump’s legal team regarding the "false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements."
>The Daily Beast apologized & retracted an article that suggested Melania Trump met her husband through an Epstein connection.

Justice D E-I Cites "Black Codes" Which Stripped Post-Civil-War Blacks of Right to Bear Arms As Good Law In Order to Justify Endless Gun Control
Justice D-EI is making it as hard as possible for other DEI judges to ever get confirmed.
What were the Black Codes? They were post-Civil-War state laws enacted by the defeated Confederacy in spite. They were almost immediately declared unconstitutional.The Black Codes were a series of racially discriminatory laws enacted by Southern states immediately after the Civil War (primarily in 1865--1866) to restrict the rights and freedoms of newly emancipated African Americans (freedmen) and maintain white supremacy, often as a continuation of pre-war slave codes. These laws frequently included provisions that severely restricted or outright prohibited Black people from owning, possessing, or carrying firearms (and often other weapons like Bowie knives or dirks). The intent was to disarm freed Black individuals, leaving them vulnerable to violence from white supremacists, including groups like the Ku Klux Klan, while preventing any potential armed resistance or self-defense against oppression. Key examples from prominent Black Codes include: Mississippi Black Codes (1865) -- One of the earliest and most explicit. In "An Act to punish certain offenses therein named, and for other purposes" (often part of the Penal Code section), it stated: No freedman, free negro or mulatto, not in the military service of the United States government, and not licensed so to do by the board of police of his or her county, shall keep or carry fire-arms of any kind, or any ammunition, dirk or bowie knife... Violations resulted in fines (up to $10), costs, forfeiture of the weapons/ammunition, and potential arrest by any civil or military officer. A license from a local police board was required, which was discretionary and rarely granted to Black individuals. Whites faced no such requirement. South Carolina Black Codes (1865) -- Similar restrictions applied, stating that persons of color could not keep a firearm, sword, or other military weapon without written permission from a district judge or magistrate. Louisiana (1865) -- Laws required consent before bringing firearms onto another's property, explicitly aimed at freedmen to disarm them. Other Southern states adopted comparable measures, often requiring licenses (discretionary and biased against Black applicants) or imposing total bans on Black firearm possession unless in military service. These were not race-neutral; contemporary accounts and later analyses confirm they targeted freed Black people to prevent self-defense and enable terrorization.These disarmament provisions were short-lived in their original form -- many Black Codes were repealed or overridden by Reconstruction-era federal actions, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Freedmen's Bureau Act, and the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified 186Justice D E-I needed some kind of precedent to "prove" her argument that the Constitution allows governments to strip citizens of their right to bear arms as it pleases. She wants to uphold a Hawaiian law that strips citizens of their Second Amendment rights. So this genius decided to cite the Black Codes as good law which should control in gun control cases. Specifically, the Bruen ruling says that we should look at the history and tradition of the Second Amendment in the US to determine if a new gun control law is constitutional. She decides that the Black Codes are part of that tradition -- even though they were ruled unconstitutional days after they were passed. She says they were on the books for a couple of weeks (before being repealed or ruled unconstitutional), so why shouldn't we take them as good constitutional law? After all, this MacArthur Genius Grant candidate reasons, they were only ruled unconstitutional later, after they were passed. Note to Justice D E-I: All laws ruled unconstituional are so ruled later, after they're passed. You can't rule on a law before it's passed. Not only is that nonsensical Because of How Time Works, but the Supreme Court actually forbids what it calls "advisory opinions," or opinions of the Court about whether a law would be constitutional, if it were passed. The Court ruled that only actual "cases and controversies" -- real cases -- could be adjudicated by the court, and never any future hypothetical ones. The Constitution just doesn't allow for that., which aimed to protect freedmen's rights, including to bear arms against discriminatory state restrictions.The Black Codes' gun restrictions are widely recognized by historians and legal scholars as part of a broader pattern of racist gun control in U.S. history, designed to deny Black people the means of self-protection.
But sure she's qualified like the Wise Latina is.

Because, it argued, the Braun test, historical precedent in existence at the time of the Founding, is unworkable--according to several judges who are writing opinions trying to reverse Braun.
The argument is, if I can understand it, is that we just can't know what laws are the laws we're supposed to rely upon as parallels.
Basically, deliberately confusing the issue since there were so few restrictions--but we must have restrictions!
And Stupid Jackson is, poorly, trying to echo that, she's citing these laws, trying to make is seem like the historical laws that Braun referred to, can and must include ... laws passed decades to centuries later!

Her basic premise is off - once something is ruled unconstitutional it is considered unconstitutional for all time, including the time when it was considered constitutional. It is fully retroactive. A judge would never, ever say "well it once was unconstitutional, now it isn't." Nope once ruled constitutional, always unconstitutional. That is how the law works.

If you have no chance of winning at the Senate trial, then don't do the impeachment. It ultimately just strengthens the impeached individual politically.

Which is the reason that Parliament quit doing it. Back when Parliament was fighting kings, it allowed an avenue to attack the king via his ministers without being able to charged with treason (see Earl of Buckingham for example). When UK kings receded in power, during the 1700's, it became a useless thing for Parliament to do.
Under a party system, the Democrats will never vote to impeach and convict a Dem and only a few famous 'principled' types like Cassidy, Romney, or Murcow would cross the aisle to do it to a GOP president. Just to make it bipartisan reach arounding.

Used strategically, impeachment is like a supercharged investigation vehicle (due to Scotus precedents) of the executive branch. Like how Parliament originally used the impeachment, it is best directed at government ministers and judges rather than Presidents or VPs.
But Congress nowadays is probably unable to function legislatively except when absolutely required like some sort of continuing resolution on spending and some rare oddball bipartisan bills.
It has taken itself out of the game intentionally so as to better feed their grift.

They cite to the pointed questions of ACB and Kavanaugh along the lines of "what comes next if we [over rule it]?"
And the horror of horrors was that ... future Presidents could fire the entire Fed and appoint their own.
Well, that's pretty weak.
1) Rulings should not be forward-looking. And I don't think there's any opinions from those two that say, "we don't think this is Constitutional but we're going to have to leave it 'cause it'll cause problems."
2) That doesn't address the Constitutional issue, that the Fed's "independence" has no place under our Constitutional order of each branch having political accountability.
3) If I want to wishcast, it's those two are probing the future dissent argument, that those, exposing that future concerns are not a basis for finding constitutionalality.

We are not the same people nor culture that created the Constitution and using Scotus and the judiciary as a continuing Constitutional Convention was a horrible idea.
My sad conclusion is that sooner or later the system will fail and we will get some sort of despot, king, or worse, a corrupt aristocracy that sells out the country to the point where the system ends in catastrophe or tear itself apart in a civil war.
There will be some sort of America with people in it but what that will look like depends on just exactly how the Republic fails.
But we fight today regardless as Trump is on the side of angels in this fight, not the Democrats in service to Stan.

Anything about the Fed is obiter dictum. Basically when allowing firings at the NLRB or other bodies, the Court, by rejecting the injunctions already indicate that the executive is likely to prevail for the injunctions to be dissolved.
Retaining the injunction preventing Cook (or Powell if it comes to it) from being removed for cause means simply that the district court has to develop a fact pattern at trial as to what is cause. That requires a judicial opinion as to what statutory language 'cause' means (which the higher court has no requirement to follow) in the Federal Reserve Act, etc.

Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at January 21, 2026 03:29 PM (vOtXJ)
The implication is intended to be "I don't understand because your argument doesn't make sense." The correct response (which, no, I wouldn't make to a SCOTUS Justice to her face) is "You don't understand because you don't want to." Or maybe, depending on circumstances "You don't understand because you're a friggin' idiot."

Because GOPe leadership won't sack up and tell the Dems to jam the "silent filibuster" up their asses, and force Senators to be on the floor seven days a week actually doing their jobs. If the republicans would all just go to the floor and vote, they can move the previous question with a simple majority, which would force some Dem turd to come in and actually execute a talking filibuster.
But no, because we have gentlemen's agreements or some such complete fucking nonsense.

Because since the filibuster was revised in the 1970's, it became an all purpose way for senators to pose, grab donor cash, but do nothing except what benefitted their donors.

Of course it's also a de facto legislature with the de facto dissolution of Congress as a political body dealing substantively with important issues. And under the extremely degraded lawless conditions now prevailing, it's of course trying to become the de facto executive.

Yeah some of that, but also they're all fucking lazy as shit. I worked in the Senate for a number of years. Senators don't actually work. They show up Tuesday morning, have a couple of meetings, maybe a vote if they're really pushing it, go out to a couple of fundraisers and then fly home Thursday afternoon (at no expense to themselves, of course). Over five-ish years I can recall about that many times when the entire body actually spent any significant time in the well of the Senate.

Senate floor has not been a thing since the 1930's. Even earlier for any real debate prior to 1920's.
Senators (or House members, I worked on that side during Reagan years) do not 'work' for the salary--they work for grifting family wealth by parlaying their connections (as do many of the staff) into the blob that is the DC establishment of NGOs, boards, corporate positions, lobbying, etc.
The ones wanting to work end up often just going back home to be governor, AG, etc. Even there, staffs run the place day to day.

I think any Democrat president in the future is simply going to expand on what Biden did on student loans. I don't think Scotus judges, aside from maybe Alito or Thomas, actually know what time it is for the American Republic.
We will have a massive constitutional crisis coming soon, and the Gordian knot is likely to be cut, perhaps in a way we like, perhaps not.
But the old uniparty status quo is simply failing in the US and across the West where the elites believe that they have the right to rule over the masses regardless of what institutions interfere with that. We shall see what the masses do in response. Tears and blood might very well be involved.

1. Who says it's delayed?
2. It's probably a highly technical opinion about tariff authority under different sections that got narrower and narrower as they debated it.
3. It'll probably end up as "Trump has the authority to do it in general, but the lower courts didn't take the individual tariffs on merits, choosing to use a blanket ban instead. Lower courts, redo your ruling based on actual analysis of each proclamation and tariff."
And then Trump will just reimpose every tariff under a different authority, and it won't matter.

Then realize they “farm” these shrimp under unsanitary conditions. There are some pictures online if you dare. It looks like a giant shit puddle. Enjoy that shrimp you just ate. You’re welcome.

Congress gave away its tariff powers along time ago and multiple ways.
Trump has every authority to impose tariffs for pretty much any reason he wants. There are enough ways to do it that he can do it at any level he wants.
If Congress hates then, then repeal the authorities.

So, we'll get a headline about how SCOTUS rules against Trump. It won't actually be a ruling against Trump, but people will freak out anyway.
And the tariffs will remain under the authority he's already cited or another authority.
And narratives will be spun, but the policy will be won by Trump no matter what.

My moonshiner ancestors were the law in a small east Texas county. They controlled it but didn't partake because they were Primitive Baptist. But they kept the crime in check. The biggest threat to the public was when the Klan invaded there in 1920. These were democrat party shock troops. The Anti Ice riot stuff is just a new KKK. They bought themselves some black people too.

There were in fact 2 very different KKK's, although the mythology around them doesn't allow the topic to be discussed. The first was made up of disgruntled and unrepentant Confederates, but it was mostly stamped out by the end of Grant's term in office, and it went dormant for 3 decades. The 2nd iteration was the activist version of the Democrat Party, just like Antifa is now, and it really took WW2 and the mobilization to start it being seen as un-American.

The Confederacy was never recognized as a separate country by the US or any other country, thus not 'outside the Union'. Northern leaders such as Lincoln and Grant considered them simply states in rebellion. Maybe not in the hearts and minds of the people living there, but the states in rebellion were technically still US states.

There is also the standing issue. In many of the cases of levied tariffs, the other nation and the US came to agreement which makes it difficult for individuals or companies suing to assert standing as international agreements are a separation of powers issue especially when Congress authorizes it vaguely.
This is a very complicated case involving tariffs, presidential powers, delegation, standing, and remedies. Might not get a decision until June at this rate. The longer it goes, the more likely Trump gets a decision he can live with.

Student loans were turbofucked by Obama as part of his first wave of "fuck shit up illegally in ways nobody can ever fix" in 2009. It'a not really a Biden move, specifically.
The biggest issue is counting foreign invaders in the census and giving their kids citizenship, as well as enabling their invasion and refusing to deport them when they get all rapey/murdery. That's not just a constitutional crisis, that's a straight shot to ethnic cleansing and genocide. I have close family friends murdered recently by these invader fucksticks, and friends dead in fed witch hunts, and this shit is getting old.

Slick Bitch Gavin Newsom Has His Davos Speech Cancelled; Whines That Trump Did It
Scott Bessent Cooks Gavin Newsom As Communist Patrick Bateman
Some clips from Davos. Trump cooks the elites, of course.
Gavin Newsom was informed at the 11th hour that his talk with Fortune at USA House in Davos was canceled. Newsom had been invited to speak on Wednesday at an event sponsored by USA House, which for the first time was recognized by the U.S. government as the country's official headquarters at Davos. But an organizer told his office that they had opted to not include any U.S. officials in the talk focused on CEOs and other business leaders. In a private exchange of messages obtained by POLITICO, a Newsom administration official accused the USA House of bowing to political pressure from the State Department -- an accusation the organizer denied, while emphasizing the governor was still welcome in the venue -- in a microcosm of the larger geopolitical tensions on display.

The central plot is about the Riddler exacting justice on the elite of Gotham because they took a billion dollar fund that Thomas Wayne had set up and used it to enrich themselves.
After the uprooting of USAID, I see it more clearly. The expanded spending. The lack of progress and even the drawback of standards of living.
I'm sure Matt Reeves would place the blame on Republicans squarely because Hollywood, but it's still just this cri de coeur about how government became a piggy bank for the connected over the past few decades.
Because the old world order ossified and corrupted to the point where there was no downside to just stealing outright.

>>> "I signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We’re going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers, but you’ve got to get the people off the streets.”
I will say this...while asylums are needed, they NEED to be heavily monitored and free of corruption.
I mentioned in a book thread a few weeks ago "The Woman they Could Not Silence." Back in the Civil War era, if you were a man, you could get your wife locked away in an asylum for anything. Even just thinking too much. Elizabeth Packard was committed to an asylum by her husband for disagreeing with him on religion and politics.

I don't think Newscum is popular in NYC. Sure, he's a democrap and he'll easily win NY if he's the dum nominee in 2028. Duh. But east coasters don't much like or identify with west coasters, and Newscum is as west coast as they come. He's the poster boy for Effete Probably-Gay California Pest. He's also seen as so last year.

Democrats deflecting to affordability and then choosing Gavin Newsom, who has colluded with utilities companies in California to fuck up affordability, repeatedly vetoing legislation that would put them in check, and legislation that would protect trans people as well? Fuck that.
He's an amorphous blob that tries to appease whoever is in front of him. This guy stands for nothing.
He won’t even win the primary. It’s hilarious the Right hates him so much, he’s way closer to a Republican than anything progressive. Both sides don’t like him, but the Dem establishment is shoving him down our throats
He is made of the same stuff Trump is. He just has tighter impulse control. He's not the guy to run the US.
Fuck Newsome. He's centre right, hates the homeless and trans people, and loves the rich and won't tax billionaires. I'll vote for him only if he's literally the only non-explixitly-fascist option

I don't get it. I am being serious.
So "USA House" is the newly-"official" American globalist hangout in Davos, and they decided to cancel an appearance by Newsom because they changed the theme of the event to "business leaders?"

LizLem, I preach about this every chance I get. I'll repeat your 2 points:
1 - The institutions are needed.
2 - It is essential that they be monitored for humane treatment of the mentally ill.
You evidently already know what's up, but if you want the evidence and an incredible history of America's treatment of the mentally ill, read Jonathan Rosen's book, The Best Minds. We have actually done it successfully at times in the past, but somehow the good will or the money runs out.

This is a prime example - perhaps *the* prime example, in the past century at least - of shooting the messenger.
Trump did no such thing. The Postwar Order had already failed and was in the process of collapsing. It started to crack up when the USSR fell and accelerated hard after 9/11 and the financial crisis. The COVID response was a massive shift out of the "traditional" Postwar Order and Biden's treatment of Russia following the invasion of Ukraine was uncharted territory on the trade/finance side of things.
*Trump* didn't dismantle the old order. The old order fucking collapsed on all on it's own through entropy, apathy, mismanagement, fraud and shifting priorities.
What Trump *did* do was be the first guy to loudly and bluntly say, "this shit is over and we need to figure out what comes next." Trump's policies didn't cause a collapse of the old order, they are a *response* to the old order collapsing.

Public airing of what are traditionally privately conveyed sentiments, in response (often) to concrete actions harming/endangering our interests in order to make a buck?
Rhetoric aside, Trump (and the Beltway) are still stuck in a pre-1991 inertial default mental framework, when it comes to NATO. The zombie alliance, bereft of any rationale for more than a generation. Thus the ridiculous attempts to tweak it (increase your defense spending!) when there is no military rationale or trace of political will. And all this predates and is separate from the mass migration that has made the politics of key members even more problematic on foreign policy.
No easy or obvious alternatives to the increasingly silly attempts to prop up the shambling zombie. But probably best to recognize the silliness, and the zombie.

What he is talking about has a name, and that name is empire. No "customs union" or "alliance" or whatever is going to get a large number of states to work toward a common goal in opposition to a large state. There are too many deals to be made and too much benefit to breaking the pact.
What he's describing *does* happen - in the form of the strongest of the "middle powers" conquering their neighbors and then either joining up or conquering each other. At the other end of that, you have a major empire and a great power. The king is dead, long live the king and whatnot.

Public airing of what are traditionally privately conveyed sentiments, in response (often) to concrete actions harming/endangering our interests in order to make a buck?
Rhetoric aside, Trump (and the Beltway) are still stuck in a pre-1991 inertial default mental framework, when it comes to NATO. The zombie alliance, bereft of any rationale for more than a generation. Thus the ridiculous attempts to tweak it (increase your defense spending!) when there is no military rationale or trace of political will. And all this predates and is separate from the mass migration that has made the politics of key members even more problematic on foreign policy.
No easy or obvious alternatives to the increasingly silly attempts to prop up the shambling zombie. But probably best to recognize the silliness, and the zombie.

Sure, she polls well now due to name recognition and the fact she's a brown woman, but she'll crater quickly. You have to be pretty special to successfully bounce back from a presidential loss...Trump is special, Kamala is not.
More hilarious will be the oppression calculations. Many are convinced "Amerikka" is too evil to elect a woman or brown person, so another white male? Another half of their electorate won't stand for that. And the wedge issues of trannies, Israel...it's going to be beautiful.

I don't know how anyone can see the last three Democrat primaries as evidence that the DNC can easily rig their primary.
They barely did it in 2016 when it was just Hillary and that cook from VT. Their effort to rig it created a superstar in Bernie that they had to cheat out of a win.
And then...in 2020...anyone saying that whole thing was planned for Biden insane.
Now, if you're going to say that the primary will just be canceled and someone selected, we can discuss that. But that's not what you seem to be saying.

I suspect, admittedly without evidence, that Trump is aware that NATO is, at best, counter to the US national interest. He cannot, however, unilaterally withdraw us and Congress would never go along. So he tries to give Europe requirements - ones spelled out in the treaty - in the hopes that they will refuse and we can leave.
Vance seems even more anti-NATO.

"Children in designated areas are subject to mandatory daycare for 25–30 hours per week starting at age 1, where they are immersed in “Danish values” such as gender equality and Christian traditions, with no parental accompaniment allowed. This measure does not apply to ethnic Danish families, who retain the right to choose childcare freely, highlighting a two-tier system.
Legal and social integration requirements are also strict. Non-EU immigrants, especially refugees, must sign individual integration contracts requiring Danish language acquisition, employment, and cultural education. Failure to comply can result in loss of benefits or denial of permanent residency. "

I suspect that the issue here is that Dem voters tend to do what they are told.
So yes in 2016 D voters wanted Bernie but the DNC installed Hillary but in '20 and '24 they mostly just told D voters who they should vote for and they did.
I can tell you in reading lefty forums there was little love of Biden before 2019 or so. They liked Kamala a bit better in the lead up to '24 but if you asked the average D voter in '22 to name who they wanted it would not have been her...

She never rose above the 3rd tier.
She never got better than 15% of a national poll.
Yes, she was the early choice. But the most the elites could buy from the electorate was 15%.
First tier was Bernie. Second was Biden. Everyone else was third. The DNC had to scuttle the entire third tier to consolidate votes for the second in the end, all of their plans having come to nothing.

And black women will make up an oversized part of the Democrat primary electorate.
This one is disheartening on so many levels. Why do they love her? They thing she's black. And that's it.
And as has been pointed out she's half Indian, half from a slave trading Jamaican family of mixed race. But I guess the "one drop" rule is still a thing on the left

So yes in 2016 D voters wanted Bernie but the DNC installed Hillary but in '20 and '24 they mostly just told D voters who they should vote for and they did.
I can tell you in reading lefty forums there was little love of Biden before 2019 or so. They liked Kamala a bit better in the lead up to '24 but if you asked the average D voter in '22 to name who they wanted it would not have been her...

Potentially throwing out some chum for the Horde to go nuts over...It's popular among red pilled MAGA chads to joke that we should repeal the 19th. Many here joke about it. I get that it's done in fun. (I hope??) But I've thoroughly researched this topic and time period, from the lens of being a pro-man, conservative leaning, pro-life first wave feminist. And we do NOT want to go back to the oppressive eras of the past when women had no rights, before they could vote. It was horrifying and brutal. Truly.
There is positive space that exists between AWFLS taking away men's rights, and repealing the 19th and locking up mouthy women in insane asylums. But with the divide between men and women growing, I don't know it heals.

Non ideologues have outcome preferences, not policies. Ideologues have policy preferences but often no outcome preference in that they are often indifferent to adjusting policy to outcomes.
The masses are slow in coming to public judgment but once there, the elites and policy types are frustrated because the masses become immovable on some policies like not wanting Social Security changed or disdaining the Green Nude Eel and EV flambes.
Classic examples in the past, the Vietnam War, massive tax hikes, gas rationing or massive price hikes, inflation under Biden and Carter, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and so on.

"Too Jewish." In fact, he's way too Jewish. If memory serves, he was born to an Israeli father who smashed Palestinian heads as part of a pro-Israel paramilitary group.
Plus, during the Gulf War Rahm was a civilian volunteer with the IDF.
On the other hand, watching the Donks turn 180 and try to claim that Trump takes his orders from Israel because he has Jooish kids, but Rahm totally isn't in the pocket of Israel will be really funny.

Political socialization. Family is the first influence but friends and social group id influences it after adulthood. Ironically, the most politically knowledgeable are the ones most likely to defect from one party to another based on specific policies and issues. So you get someone like David Horowitz raised as a pink diaper baby and early leftist activist becoming hard right.
Some defect for money and fame, often GOPe types--can anyone provide a principled argument like Bill Weld running as Libertarian VP? Snarlin Arlen Spector? Etc.

Firs off, Hillary's selection in 2016 was a buy off for her to drop the challenge on the Selected Obama previously. Hell, they even played around with the caucus for Obama.
Hillary's problems in 2016 stem from her being absolutely unlikable by everyone. Without the way being paved for her (and Sanders being bought off) she wouldn't have done as well as she did.
Biden in 2020...got schelacked in Iowa, and beat in NH to the extent that he didn't even show up for the primary. Instead he ran to his savior down in South Carolina (Clyburn) who paved the way in that state and all the big states. Clyburn is one of the kingmakers .

10 years ago, they barely managed it, when the DNC was far more powerful. The DNC actually gave up some of its power after 2016 because the cheating was so bad (super delegates don't get to make free votes until the second ballot at convention now).
All they managed was to create a superstar out of Bernie that's been a thorn in their side ever since.

The irony now is that Democrats desperately want that on their side. They want their own Trump to take out the establishment that they see as sell-outs.
Except that the establishment uses the language of the activist base and an outsider who could shake things up on important issues, like immigration, would get destroyed by the very activist base that wants an outsider.
If Bernie ran now and said that Trump was right about immigration, you know, his 2016 stance, the left would turn on him.

Trump has it dead right - The USA by necessity needs to wash its hands of the Europe where it can and then use those resources to solidify control over the western hemisphere's energy supplies and strategic geographic resources.
It isn't that USA is suddenly unreliable. Rather this is the USA accepting that Europe is headed into a prolonged cultural, economic, and strategic decline rendering it an increasingly inept and incapable ally.
All Trump is doing is accepting this reality and doing everything possible to secure the long term future of the USA as an ongoing superpower. This is not optional because the Chicoms prime objective is the ensure USA fails at this. And odds on, when it gets rough, Europe won't be around to help.

Does it really matter who the Dems nominate? Like Hillary before her, Kamala wasn't that far away from presidency (decided by a relatively small number of votes in a handful of states).

Considering the amount of voter fraud, those margins might have been wider. With any luck, we'll have some types of voter fraud closed off by 2028 and we'll have a more realistic election, i.e., one in which maybe half the country votes.
I think Rubio could heat up an election by campaigning in Spanish and (my dream) debating AOC in Spanish, if they're both the veep selections.

Trump can to prominence by agreeing to do the things that right leaning voters wanted. Since the GOPe wasn't doing that he was able to supplant them.
Now, many D voters would also claim their party isn't doing what they want but...would have trouble explaining what that might be.
Because the left follows the narrative that comes out of the D party anyway. So they just say they want want the people that control the D party say they want.
Today its illegals and trannies rights. Yesterday it was a living wage and cracking down on men treating women badly. Tomorrow it will be something else completely. And the D voters will just pretend they've always wanted those new things whatever they might be...

Crowder has been running old clips of OBAMA saying the same thing Trump is now on immigration. He used rampant immigration (I think he quoted 5 million illegals came in) as a cudgel to say that Dubya the Bushitler and the republicans were exploiting brown people, due to crony greed. So we should vote for him to plug the hole and fix it.
Cut to Biden's time as POTUS...20–30 million illegals flowed over the border, most likely. And the democrats were all on board with the brown people coming here to be exploited, due to crony greed.
The left SHOULD turn on Obama and they won't. Luckily he's waning in influence and power.

If the FNM says we need welfare for "refugees" then D voters will just repeat it even if in theory it it taking money from them.
Sure, one could imagine a new President Newsom deciding to stop welfare for illegals and D voters doing a 180 but only if the FNM and D party both established a new narrative. No outsider left, right , or center would win substantial D votes running on this without official D approval

We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors.
What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals.

Based what we have out there Jeb and Pence wouldn't be the worst picks. They both were good governors and both have praised Trump 2.0 for specific actions . They are not Never Trumpers. I never will understand the required annihilation of politicians that we agree with on 90% of the issues because of disagreement on the other 10%. If that was the case I wouldn't have voted for Trump 2.0 because of Trump 1.0. (who am I kidding, I would have voted for just about anyone over Kamala or Biden)

Bill and Hillary Clinton: We Won't Testify, But If One Single Congessman Comes to NY, Bill Alone Will Sit For Some Questions, as Long as There Is No Recording and No Transcript
Comer rejected the "counter-offer."
Apparently decrepit alcoholic lesbian Hillary Clinton really doesn't want to be asked about her visits to Pedo Island."Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons' lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only," Comer revealed in a post on X. The conditions only got worse from there. "No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons' ridiculous offer." Comer added, "The Clintons' latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment." Comer pointed out that the subpoenas came from a bipartisan House Oversight Committee and required sworn, transcribed depositions, and an informal, off-the-record chat fails to meet even the lowest standard of oversight. "Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath, and was impeached and suspended from the practice of law as a result," Comer said.The Committee will now hold hearings on whether or not to refer the Clintons to the DOJ for prosecution. I sure hope it's a short hearing. Hello! And welcome to the mid-week!
... "The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein's crimes," he said. ... Of course, Hillary Clinton also remains squarely in the committee's sights. Comer laid out why her testimony matters and why a closed-door, casual conversation fails to satisfy the committee's responsibility. "Former Secretary Clinton's on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee's investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government's work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family's relationship with Mr. Epstein," he said.

Because we have limited resources. Because we need to be more targeted. Because we are all over everywhere, nothing is happening. Because Bill is a foot, maybe a foot and a half in the grave. He will answer for what he has done as will Hillary, probably before the meetings on setting up the meetings are over. Because I care more about Omar and her fraud than this. Because Covid is more relevant. Because focus on this is very much on purpose so we are not focused on these other things that actually matter.

Everyone knows what needs to be done. They just want someone else to do it.
They really do want the “system” to work, they want their representatives to do what they are paid to do, instead of the opposite, they don’t want to acknowledge that perhaps most of the things they were taught and believed were complete nonsense. The “political class” and the “media” have no idea what they are doing, playing with fire. History is very clear on this, but I guess hope springs eternal.

Epstein was only and always an online exclusive obsession.
No material constituency voted on it.
It was, at best, supporting evidence one way or another for people already having made up their mind about particular politicians.
Elected officials obsessing over online exclusive obsessions just creates noise that most people filter out.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom at the World Economic Forum in Davos, calling him "economically illiterate" and comparing him to "Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken." Bessent claimed Newsom "may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris" and accused him of being out of touch while "hobnobbing with the global elite" amid California's ongoing homelessness and budget challenges.
Bessent also mocked Newsom’s social media suggestion that California could withhold federal tax payments in response to potential funding cuts, calling it a "reckless" threat of criminal tax evasion. He stated, “Governor @GavinNewsom is threatening to commit criminal tax evasion. His plan: defraud the American taxpayer and leave California residents on the hook for unpaid federal taxes.”

Different committees Piper. Comer is chair of House Oversight, Omar goes to Ethics Committee for investigation, not Oversight. Covid would normally be an issue in Health Committees.
And that also does not take into account Senate Commitees.
So it is not an all or nothing sort of deal. Given Congress is doing an imitation of King Log under GOP leadership and struggling to pass spending bills for the rest of government for FY 2026 (Mainly a Senate issue, not House), the House committees might as well blow up the Dems equation of Trump with the Epstein bill by dragging Bill and Hill before the House committees and making the Dems eat a shit sandwich.

The rest went poof. So Illinois courts are going to take a loss because when the money ain't there, the pensions are not going to be paid. And Pritzker is busy wrecking the Illinois economy for illegals and other wasteful spending in the process. Illinois and Chicago pension funds are 9 out of 15 of the least funded pension funds in the US. Average about 40 cents on the dollar. Illinois when you take all of the pension liabilities and aggregate them, has about 52 percent funding of its pension promises to state and local workers. 51st of all states plus DC.

Well, as I noted elsewhere - the Illinois Constitution says they must be paid, and so they will be paid before everyone else, in full, until someone has the balls to change it. The first step will be a State Supreme Court Justice ordering a 50% increase in the state sales and income tax.
They will be paid first, because to not do so is unconstitutional in the state.

You don't get privilege for actions after the presidency. You are a common citizen.
Most of the Epstein visits involved a post Clinton presidency and his Global Foundation fundraising and actions.
Haven't seen as it raised yet as an issue whether Trump removes presidential privilege for testimony over Clinton's term in office as only the current president may justify privilege for a past one (new precedents from Jan 6).

I think most of this mercenary transactionism was always there. Social media has just made it so acceptable now that it's actually something that's flaunted. "Hell yea, I want upfront payment from men before I go on a date! That's how much I'm worth. They're all pigs anyway!"
The public airing of dirty laundry that was once swept under the rug has a vicious-circle aspect, bringing everyone down. Young men and boys see this and think "damn, all women are whores," and start treating them that way. Young ladies and girls react to this by thinking men are pigs, and only useful for extracting money from. And it spirals down from there.

Twas an op. And to some extent, many of those pushing that were after Israel because they blamed Mossad for it. Personally, I think Epstein was likely more to be a money launderer as hedge fund manager for intel agencies and Ghislaine's father was an MI-6 agent of influence (became friends with Breznev to the dismay of KGB). Plus British security services keep the Royal Family surveilled and managed for the sovereign to keep problems from happening.
So MI-5 and 6 knew about Epstein, perhaps employed him as an agent, and yet felt it okay to let Andrew screw underage types.
Undoubtedly reports went to the Queen about it.

Is it oversight of the DOJ and Federal Law enforcment? Is it determination as to whether it offered a security threat?

Kallisto,
Clinton probably did worse as governor. I had two young female HS students that recounted being hit on by Bill at an official state function recognizing high performing students. They were 17. Clinton invited them to come up to his suite at the Excelsior Hotel (same place he showed his dingus to Paula Jones). They didn't but I'd be willing to imagine that some took him up on the offer.
He and Hillary were slimy but Bill was charming as a snake could be normally but turned vicious if challenged. I worked at the time for a Arkansas Congress critter and then off and on for that guy in elections. Got more stories--Billy Jeff went AWOL at a local university and the local head of teh campus democrats, a personal friend, had to deal with Killary's raging to my friend about where Bill was. Bill was getting some from the young college girls that his security deal had procured for him.

The Left and some on the Right demanded the release of the entire Epstein investigation, specifically the mythical list. That lead to the committee investigating any possible government coverup. I would term it political in that 'watch out what you wish for' directed at the Left and legitimate for those really trying to determine if there was a government overup.

Her name carries with it a stigma and every time she tried to do anything, she was accused of capitalizing on her name and the scandal. It’s her stinking name! She is doing a podcast now, maybe? She did design some pretty purses, but she was still ostracized and she has said she felt like she really can’t come out and say much- but she is still a democrat, and she didn’t want to hurt Hilary’s campaign.

Monica Lewinsky’s Ex-Boyfriend’s Wife
Posted by: Common Tater at January 21, 2026 01:09 PM (66/qG)
Media Research Center Chairman Brent Bozell reacted with only modest surprise at the admission by former Time magazine White House correspondent Nina Burleigh that she would give President Clinton oral sex "just to thank him for keeping abortion legal." Ms. Burleigh's eye-popping confession comes in an interview with the Washington Post after her revealing essay in the latest issue of Mirabella magazine in which she admits she would have been open to having an affair with Clinton.

Is it oversight of the DOJ and Federal Law enforcment? Is it determination as to whether it offered a security threat? Is it because a bunch of people who vote one side of the aisle want to know the details so they pressured a congressional investigation? Or, is this just partisan politics at its finest?
I'm serious. What is the primary basis behind Comer's investigation? What is the goal?

Yes, plenty of blame to go around for both of them. I'd love to see Monica come forward with her real story, as Piper described it -- unable to marry, enjoy a career or a public life or a social presence that isn't sharply defined by her episode with Bill -- all because of a serious misjudgment and a turn away from basic morality. That's the podcast she should do, advising young women to be disciplined and focused.

This is such a sticky subject (yes, I said it), because there IS a point at which the person without "power" is harmed by the experience. Not unlike older teens who are banging their teachers, or some 20/30 something who likes 'em young.
Is it a crime? Maybe. Maybe not. But the person who HAS the power is always guilty of exploiting his/her position for sexual gain, and if it's a work relationship, it warrants at least being fired, if not prosecuted.

Yup. It's a juvenile joke. "304' on an old-fashioned calculator looks like "hoe" when you turn it upside down, and hoe = 'ho = whore.
It made a resurgence because of silent internet censorship on platforms like YouTube. "Hoe" or "Ho" or "Whore" might get your comment suppressed or your videos search-suppressed. "304," though, is just a string of numbers.
Kinda like how "killed" got replaced with "unalived" and "suicide" got replaced with "self-deletion" on YouTube. They are ways of end-running automatic censorship systems.

I will say this...while asylums are needed, they NEED to be heavily monitored and free of corruption.
I mentioned in a book thread a few weeks ago "The Woman they Could Not Silence." Back in the Civil War era, if you were a man, you could get your wife locked away in an asylum for anything. Even just thinking too much. Elizabeth Packard was committed to an asylum by her husband for disagreeing with him on religion and politics. (He was all fire and brimstone, and she believed in a more loving God. And he flip flopped to be pro slavery to appeal to rich patrons financing his church, and she was adamantly anti-slavery. Her views caused embarrassment to him in front of his flock, so he got a crooked doctor and a sham trial to get her thrown into an asylum.)
There is corruption and abuse in the mental health and incarceration system already. How do you protect the most vulnerable people in asylums when the system is corrupt?

I don't think anything Bill did with Monica was illegal. She was of consenting age and made her choices.
What Bill did, though, should have completely disqualified him from holding any office or position of power at all.
It wasn't just that Bill deliberately targeted an insecure, eager-to-please intern, knowing that such women are easier targets. Unlike Trump, who targeted supermodels and playboy playmates, Bill almost always went after easier game like Monica.
He then lied about it, through his teeth, and exposed himself as completely untrustworthy. He should have been thrown out of office on his ass.

Thomas Reeves "A Question of Character" JFK biography has a great story about his dad Joe playing tennis with a very young woman, bringing her home to a women's party Rose was throwing
I prefer the story of how Old Joe got to be Ambassador to Great Britain, a post that he wanted BADLY because he hated the Limeys. FDR didn't want to give him the post, but because of Joe's previous support and money, he had to at least interview him for the position.
So in the middle of the meeting with Joe, FDR and FDR's son James, FDR tells Joe to stand up and drop trou. Confused, Joe obeys and drops his pants. FDR starts laughing, pointing at Joe saying "SEE? SEE? I TOLD YOU IT WAS TRUE!" FDR explained that they had a mutual friend who had been swimming with Joe and the kids, and he'd observed that Joe was the most bow-legged man he'd ever seen.
FDR explained that if he sent Joe to the King in period dress, complete with leggings, he'd be the laughing stock of the world. Joe responded (pissed) that if he could talk the Brits into allowing him to present himself in modern diplomatic wear (striped pants, tails, top hat), could he have the position. FDR agreed thinking that Joe couldn't

Lincoln provoked that one. Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, etc. were hesitating to join the Deep Southern states in seceding but Lincoln demanded that these states provide their state militias to invade those states wanting to leave.
That broke the logjam (and broke Virginia in half eventually).
Lincoln has a pretty big share of the blame for the bloody civil war along with the fireeaters. Inexperienced politically isolated president overwhelmed by the office is my assessment.
He grew into the office but once the fighting started, it was impossible to stop. Wars are easy to get into but hard to get out of.

swing it. But somehow (probably bribery), the Brits cabled the State Dept saying that the new ambassador could present himself in modern diplomatic clothes, rather than the traditional period costume. FDR was stuck, and gave Joe the post.
Of course, Joe turned out to be a shitty ambassador, with lots of family drama because his son Jack was screwing every British bird in London (including what turned out to be a Nazi double-agent), and had to join the Navy to get out of Great Britain but that's another story.

And yet society seems comfortable with schools protecting female predators in K-12 education and I suspect if you had a female president with a 21 year old male intern, that suddenly it would be okay.
Most bullshit about the sexes are lies we tell ourselves to justify what we think.
My argument is that such societal and legal rules should be open, public, stipulated and enforced equally. If a 30 year old female teacher seduces a 16 year old, then she goes to the chokey for the same length of time just the same as a 30 male mechanic goes after a 16 year old Lolita.
And I also think any female or male sexing up their boss also gets the boot along with the boss. If they want to hanky panky, one or both of them can damn well leave the company before starting it.

Wednesday Morning Rant
This needs to stop. Justice and other agencies are starting (publicly, at least - I have no idea if it is sincere) to tackle some of the fraud, but there is likely no way they can contain it. They can punish specific wrongdoers in specific frauds, but the overall system is conducive to fraud. The way the NGO complex is constructed virtually demands fraud, and all but guarantees it. The entire point is to slosh money around outside of accountability systems. The system itself is deeply flawed and designed from the ground up to be exploited. That system needs to be abolished.
There does not need to be cessation of particular projects or programs, or punishment of specific wrongdoers. The wrongdoers must be punished, of course, but that will not solve the problem. New wrongdoers will do the same things - and why not? The system is designed to be abused. That system is what needs to go, not some particular recipient. What we need is a rethink on how taxpayer is spent at all. What I think needs to happen is a new law around how the government is permitted to spend money. It should be restricted to four categories:1. Goods purchased by and for the government, under contract
2. Services purchased by and for the government, under contract
3. State block grants for various programs (Medicaid, Section 8, etc.), with hard requirements that all block-grant funds are directly attributable to a specific end consumer (recipient), however it is delivered, and that records are available to the federal government on demand.
4. Direct welfare payments to named recipients - disability, social security, medicare, etc. The welfare programs are not going to be abolished, but there must be accountability within the government for them. Any dollar that goes out must go out to or on behalf of a known, named, enrolled individual. No organizations. If an organization is paid on behalf of an individual - say, medical transportation for a Medicaid recipient - it must be via a company under legitimate and valid contract per federal standards for bidding and selection, with specific recipient recorded and audited. No cash to anyone else for anything. The government is itself a customer for many businesses, and that can continue. When some agency buys toilet paper under contract, that's fine. When a contractor operates a government facility on behalf of an agency, that's fine. When a supplier or vendor provides services to the government under contract, that's fine. But there must be no more non-contract activity paid for with taxpayer money. No more grants or non-contract outlays. If there is, for example, some research project that people think ought to be undertaken, the government either needs to do it itself at one of its laboratories or the organization doing it needs to bid and negotiate a contract - and that contract must be subject to the same bidding and procurement requirements as any other contract. No more research grants, no more "development" grants, no more grants to universities or hospitals or NGOs not doing specific, named work for the US government under competitive contract. These requirements are bureaucratic and onerous. That is the point. If an organization receives so much as a single penny of federal taxpayer money, it must be for a stated, known purpose under a valid contract and all that this entails. It must be auditable, accountable and transparent. If an NGO, university or other organization doesn't want to both convince someone in government that something is a good idea and then go through competitive bidding to do it, it is welcome to not participate. If an NGO wants to operate without accountability, it is welcome to do so with no victims but its own suckers who gave them money. There is no way to get the fraud problem under control while the current NGO system remains intact. The flow of cash into the NGOs must be stopped in order to reduce the amount of flagrant theft and dishonesty in the system. The government has by now amply demonstrated that it is both unwilling and unable to determine how it spends money without aggressive oversight. The problem has to be cut out at the root, and that is in the standards and requirements for all government outlays. One way to stop this hemorrhaging cash flow into NGOs is to change the law to explicitly define how the government is permitted to spend money, and on what. No payments without specific, named purpose and competitive contract. No transfers without accountability. Make the NGOs into actual non-government entities and let them sink or swim on their own.

There are government entities that are extremely closely watched, often to an absurd point. I worked for one of them. The problem isn't that accountability isn't called for or required by law, it's that the people dispensing most of the money don't WANT accountability and so just ignore the law. Fix that, and you can fix most of the problem.

I'd support that. That would also be the end of welfare programs, however, which is a much taller order. The two problems are independent. I think it is possible to deal with much of the fraud and theft without touching the welfare programs, which is probably politically a lot more viable.
Not that my approach is viable either, of course. Too many people are getting rich feasting on the body politic.

The problem is Congress and its politicians. It was corrupt before the Constitutional Convention and continued that corruption after the new Constitution. And the corruption festered quicker than revenues and borrowing can feed.
The dilemma that leads to republics failing is often that the legislators cannot restrain their greed for power and wealth and then use that as a bludgeon to create a pseudo aristocratic elite but without the feudal duties that were required in ye olde times.
Nor do they have the social pressures enforced by the Roman Catholic church to be a godly leader.
So we have a government of sociopaths.

Let's not notwithstand this.
The government should not in any circumstance be in the position to take money from one person and give it to charitable organizations for purposes not authorized by that person, which as we have seen, can lead to religious-based organizations being used to import third-worlders to replace the population under the guise of charity.

Right now there is a cap on SS taxes up to about $200k a year. If that cap is eliminated it keeps the scam going for a few more decades alone.

Yup. Shitty situation, but this is where we are when trust is destroyed and accountability is absent.
It *could* be reworked under a contract scenario. A contract to research Phenomenon X on Timeline Y with deliverable results - positive or negative - by Deadline Z. Let research houses bid on the contract if they want it.

Which is a fiction. Social Security is a welfare payment. They print up what looks like an annuity statement and pretend that revenues are coupled to outlays, but they aren't. The Social Security tax is just a tax, and the Social Security benefit payment is just a benefit. The benefit value is tied to some degree to the amount of tax paid, but Social Security is structured as and legally is a welfare program. There is no trust fund, there is no "lock box" and there never has been. It is not an annuity and it is not a pension.

Raise or eliminate the earnings cap on it and get SSDI fraud under control and Social Security will be largely stable.

The federal reserve has essentially floated bad checks, known as US currency, to cover spending so we are being squeezed by inflation because of it.
This is the soft default option where like in Covid, the debt was effectively devalued by about 25 percent from the Biden inflation brought about by massive US fiscal deficits that were covered by Fed Reserve issuing fiat currency.
That can go on until the government becomes unable to make interest payments on the debt due to rejection of those bonds at market and people refuse to accept the currency as tender for trade.
We have essentially sailed beyond the prudence level on GDP to debt and sooner or later soft defaults via inflation become hard ones via default.
When that is, no one knows but it has led to suspicion that is one of the reasons that the financiers in the West want continental scale wars to cover the eventual defaults.

Listen...I don't think people appreciate the fact that Roy Cooper should be considered an underdog for NC this year.
Senate races drive up turnout in the states that have them to near presidential levels, meaning that overall PVI becomes much more predictive of the race in question.
And NC just...keeps...trending...Republican.

Well, I guess we're doing this again. There is merit in both sides of the argument because some people actually do get welfare in the sense that they get out a lot more than they ever put in (and it's going to get much worse when they inevitably start means-testing). OTOH, people like me, who would much rather have left the system and paid into a personal retirement account, will get much less than what they paid for in terms of their "pension", and the estate that I otherwise would have built and passed on to my kids will just go in to the general slush fund to keep paying the takers.

There is effectively no way to "pay off" our debt, so whether we are 100, 125, 150, 200 pct debt to GDP ratio, it doesn't matter, it's all really a shell game and can you get enough people to believe in the magic tricks any longer.

Raise or eliminate the earnings cap on it and get SSDI fraud under control and Social Security will be largely stable. Raising or eliminating the tax cap will be seen - accurately - as hugely unfair, but it would solve most of the problem and since it's *not* a pension scheme and *is* a welfare scheme, there is no reason they couldn't.

Chess is not specifically haram in Islam. There are imams who make it haram because you can gamble on it (as you can on almost any human activity /eyeroll/ ). Others say that as long as you're not betting on it, it's not haram. (Arabs are who introduced chess to Europe, as far as I know.)

Raising the retirement age by one month per year to 69-70 now would make the Social Security project failure go beyond 2060. When it was instituted, Social Security was designed to cover about 3-5 years of payments before death. Average lifespan is about 72-73 for males and 77 for females but a bit higher when you delete childhood mortality figures.
There is a reason that every single government has some sort of elderly pension. One is that without it, less workers are available as the family used to be the source of care for the elderly whether they liked it or not.
Two, care of elderly parents becomes much more tough when families shrink in part because women entered the workforce for paid jobs.
Three, elderly that can no longer work without family without a pension would be screwed. Everyone gets old and unable to work unless you happen to die in your prime.
Ideally, one could argue that savings should be encouraged but when the governments resort to ZIRP to finance their own deficits, that becomes a loser argument. Same with massive ETFs, etc that are diverted from highest earnings into boondoggles like Larry Fink has done.

I'm not even on the "get rid of Social Security" train. We may *have* to - when the rest of it falls apart - but like I said, the program is salvageable. There a bunch of ways to salvage it. Social Security is far from our biggest problem and we can afford it. It does, however, need reform.

"Whether chess is haram in Islam is a debated topic among scholars...due to potential gambling links, time-wasting, distraction from religious duties, while others permit it if played responsibly, emphasizing its intellectual benefits and moderation. There's no explicit mention in the Quran, some hadith mention prohibiting games like Nardashir, with potential for neglect or gambling. A balanced view suggests it's permissible if it doesn't interfere with prayers or family obligations.
Arguments for Chess Being Forbidden (Haram):
Distraction from obligatory prayers (Salah) and other religious duties; linked to gambling (like nardashir); viewed as a waste of time and money; fosters enmity; the chess pieces resemble idols.
Arguments for Chess Being Permissible (Halal): Chess is a game of skill and intellect, unlike pure gambling games of chance; in moderation, it's a pastime that can sharpen the mind; Caliphs and other figures thought it a noble pursuit, not universally banned; some prohibitions in hadith were context-specific and scholars argue they don't apply now.

Medicare/aid is also downstream from the medical industry, and that entire industry is fraught with waste and fraud and cost-shifting.

It won’t.
They’ll just increase SS taxes on everyone combined with reducing benefits for “the rich”. It’ll end up being just another welfare program in the long run.
Right now there is a cap on SS taxes up to about $200k a year. If that cap is eliminated it keeps the scam going for a few more decades alone.

I don't think that will work. There's a feedback loop in that the more you make/pay in, the more you get in benefits. You have to raise the payroll tax which will be real popular (sarc) but in this case justifiable.

There is a huge "enrollment cliff" coming up panicking higher education, because of the Great Recession. Millennials couldn't find jobs at that time, and put off getting married and having babies. Add to that they think 1/3 or so of Gen z was aborted. Between the economy and abortion, there are just less American kids in this current generation living to attend school.
Which also explains the massive, MASSIVE increase in schools accepting foreign students. They can charge them three times as much as an American student and they will make up the enrollment cliff gap. But they also crowd out actual Americans getting an education, and a good job. So the enrollment cliff cycle will repeat.

The problem with Social Security, Medicare, etc. is the idea that one is vested with private property rights (Scotus rejects this idea btw) of such. People have been encouraged to think of their own personal accounts but in reality, the Trust Fund is a group of non marketable securities that Social Security can only redeem at the Treasury.
The money has been spent already dating back from the Johnson years as president and used to make our deficit look better. There is no Trust Fund, only an IOU from Treasury that must be covered the usual way, general taxes or debt issuance.
Collectively all the taxpayers believed lies and not looking at what Fedgov was doing since the 1960's--Greatest Generation, Silents, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z is just realizing that they are screwed. The last three realize what they pay in and get are not likely to be equal. These generations won't get what they paid in. Boomers will possible break even depending on when they were born. Silents and Greatest got far more benefits than they paid taxes to get.

It will be at 650M in 25 years, and will drop below 400M 25-30 years after that. There is absolutely no way they can stop the decline, they have way too few women of child bearing age, and the cost of major urbanization means it is wildly expensive for them to have too many.
In a way, our major cities showing themselves to be unmanageable, as well as the improvement in technology means much of the reason for people to congregate in large metropolitan areas is being reduced. Midsized cities that can have a mixed economic base of service and retail and manufacturing, with more reasonable cost of living will help us hopefully increase our birth rate - oh, and the forced round up and imprisonment of AWFLS so they can stop screwing up new adult women's minds.

Until they are not. States can and have gone bankrupt and Illinois is a likely state to do so. When Detroit went bankrupt, something like 30-40 percent of their pension monthly check got paid from the PBGC. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or some such.
The rest went poof. So Illinois courts are going to take a loss because when the money ain't there, the pensions are not going to be paid. And Pritzker is busy wrecking the Illinois economy for illegals and other wasteful spending in the process. Illinois and Chicago pension funds are 9 out of 15 of the least funded pension funds in the US. Average about 40 cents on the dollar. Illinois when you take all of the pension liabilities and aggregate them, has about 52 percent funding of its pension promises to state and local workers. 51st of all states plus DC.

The biggest fraud is SSI which is heavily used by immigrants bringing in parents, etc. And that is not charged to Social Security but paid for by general revenues.
There is some fraud in Social Security but overall it is better run than many other programs because it is fairly simple to who qualifies--work x quarters, be of X age, then benefits. The major fraud comes in when illegals work and submit someone else's SSN and that person ends up getting more benefits as a result. People also don't report deaths and keep getting checks from Gramps and Grandma after they pass on.
Disability is the one area where fraud is murky but we do know that a) the all or nothing tends to keep people collecting the checks rather than trying to work if younger, b) it is related to a loss of US jobs where older workers that worked disabled can no longer find a job and apply.
Medicare, however, has much more fraud primarily by providers and the tax rate is too low for what it is paying out and that has been the case for decades. Never got fixed. Essentially it is a welfare program relying on general revenues instead of its own payroll taxes to meet expenditures.

Actually SS can be amended and tweaked. Illinois public employees pensions are enshrined in the State Constitution and must be paid out in full until such time as it is amended. A judge at some point will double the state income tax to pay for it. And that will be fun to watch, given that the state is essentially bankrupt and the pensions - like all public pensions - is woefully underfunded.

======
The biggest thing most younger generations never consider is disability and thus a really long period of not being able to work. It happens far more than people think as a result of car accidents, work on the job accidents, disease, or genetic issues.
If you have disability policies, really peruse the fine print and also consider whether you pay for them with after tax dollars (non taxable as of now to receive benefits) or tax deductibility of the payments (which means benefits are taxable). Be sure to closely peruse limitations, requirements, what is covered and not, and keep your medical records even from long ago to justify if you have to get those benefits. Also make sure you understand short term benefit policies.
If you do not have such, then get a disability policy. I think Weirddave as a cob can direct you to good companies.

A non marketable security that is not publicly traded is essentially an IOU from one govt bureau to another. Because of Scotus decisions, if Treasury refused to pay, Soc. Sec. probably would not be able to sue. There is no property right to receive social security benefits, Scotus has decreed. That means Congress and the President dictate what gets paid regardless of past regulations (see the Notch baby lawsuits among others).

Well, as I noted elsewhere - the Illinois Constitution says they must be paid, and so they will be paid before everyone else, in full, until someone has the balls to change it. The first step will be a State Supreme Court Justice ordering a 50% increase in the state sales and income tax.
They will be paid first, because to not do so is unconstitutional in the state.

There WAS (past tense) a huge amount of fraud in SSDI. There has been very little fraud in that program for the last 15 years, and the pendulum has swung way too far in the other direction. Denial is almost automatic.
You hear about the prison-industrial complex, prisons, guards, prisoners, courts, baliffs judges, lawyers.
The backlash to.the rampant SSDI fraud has produced a similar ecosystem, with a huge number of administrative judges, clerks and assorted paper-pushers and lawyers who would be otherwise unemployed. This leviathan must be fed, and denial, denial, hearings and denial is its nourishment.
I have a relative. He was a skilled transport worker, not a machinist, but well above a loader or driver. He started having grand mal seizures at 52. That made him unemployable in his field. Within a year he was having 2 or 3 a day which made him unemployable, period. It took 8 years to finally get into a "real" court, where the judge stopped the proceedings after 45 min, awarded him back benefits for 3 years (as much as he could), and gave the SS lawyer hell for taking it this far.
Fraud is NOT rampant in SSDI today.

Not something I would spend too much time standing in front of at a gallery. Would not hang.

William Michael Harnett (1848-1892)
Medium Oil on canvas
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts -
William Michael Harnett
Harnett first studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy and later at Cooper Union and the National Academy of Design. Too poor to afford live models, Harnett turned to still-life painting, becoming one of the leading 'trompe l'oeil' painters in America. Between 1880 and 1886 Harnett also studied in Munich and later in Paris. When he returned to America he settled in New York City, where he resided until his premature death at the age of forty-four. This still life is characteristic of his later work in the tightness of its execution and rather luxurious collection of tabletop objects. He acquired many of these props while in Europe, and upon his return to America, used them constantly. The sheet music and violin reflect Harnett's interest in music, ...
suggest the contemporary fascination with the past and its comforting values.
His illusionism was so convincing that Harnett was arrested in 1886 on a counterfeiting charge after exhibiting one of his paintings of a five-dollar bill.
Like the painting but would likely pass hanging.

So, all told, the GOP candidates outperformed Trump's 2024 result by double digits.
The GOP voters came out in a special election at a higher propensity than Democrat voters.
Will people use this as evidence that the GOP is engaged? Or will they not even realize it's happening and act like the GOP voters simply don't turn out ever?
(also...special elections are not predictive of general elections...I'm just pointing out the selective application of narrative dooming.)

Yes. So if you own a home straight-out, $200k is reasonable, so your retirement accumulation has to be less than 300k, or the Democrats will bleed you for affordability.

I know math is forbidden but... that's at least $1,900/year for people who saved for retirement, or people who own property, or people who don't constantly spend themselves into debt.

They know. They just think that YOU don't know what words mean. The giveaway that they DO know how stuff works is this: The Strategic Oil Reserve. They tap it EVERY SINGLE TIME a Democrat occupies the White House, because when Democrats occupy the White House gas prices always go to hell and become outrageous.
So Democrats FOR FIVE MINUTES remember "supply and demand curves", and tap the Strategic Reserve so that "supply" will increase and prices (temporarily) go down.
Then five minutes later they return to stupidity and propose raising the minimum wage or something else equally ignorant.

A 3.8% annual wealth tax is YUGE.
Assume your net worth is a million bucks and the scope is "everything." Your home equity is $500k. You have $350k in retirement. You have $100k in mutual funds and $50k in cash on hand.
The wealth tax will come to $38,000.
In year 1, you can pay that out of your cash on hand. You no longer have an emergency fund, but the tax is paid. You take down your mutual fund and buy in again at $50k to refill your emergency fund. You pay capital gains tax to do that.
In year 2, you owe a bit less. You pay the tax, leaving ~$25k in your emergency fund. That's enough for your rainy day, but not for next year's tax. Take down the mutual, leaving you with ~$77k in cash on hand. That gets you the next two years of taxes, assuming nothing goes wrong.
Starting in year 5 - or earlier, if there's an expensive problem (likely on a 5-year timeline) - you're now liquidating retirement funds or selling your house.

At a Tuesday press conference intended to address a church protest, Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley dropped a bombshell instead: he accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of aggressively confronting an off-duty police officer—with guns drawn.
What happened next escalated fast.
“When she became concerned about the rhetoric and the way she was being treated, she pulled out her phone in an attempt to record the incident. The phone was knocked out of her hands, preventing her from recording it. The officers had their guns drawn during this interaction. And after the officer became so concerned, she was forced to identify herself as a Brooklyn Park police officer in hopes of slowing the incident and de-escalating the situation.
Maybe do that BEFORE grabbing your phone for a tik tok moment.
Not buying this. Smells. Goes to Bo Snerdley.

No, but I probably did make the mistake of including the first $500k. 3.8% of one million is 38,000.
Assuming only net worth in excess of $0.5 million is in play, the tax will be half that, or $19k.

And they're mostly government employees or in affiliated enterprises - making "GTFO" a lot harder, since earning potential is going to collapse when you leave the government center and have to find work in whatever local market you're targeting. Their salaries are essentially a non-portable special circumstance and the individual's debt situation is likely to be structured around maintaining a reasonable-for-that-location salary floor that is not going to exist elsewhere.
"GTFO" is a lot harder in that scenario without a radical decline in lifestyle and very possibly bankruptcy. A lot of those frogs will choose to be boiled if VA does it.
Silicon Valley has a similar problem, though career portability is generally better.

Same rule, actually. The Oxford Comma is needed only to ensure disambiguation. If there is no probably ambiguity, you can skip the Oxford (and I do).
But a naked decimal is always potentially ambiguous due to absence of context, and so a leading zero should always be used.
In my opinion, anyway. But my opinions are solid gold!

And the rotator driver took one look, and said to the rangers, "Na-ah, Buddy. Get a crew in there to offload the cargo into pickup trucks, and cut the trailer into pieces, and airlift it out."

I did a summer with UPS as a loader/unloader during college in the 80s. It was brutal in the heat. 1200 pieces per hour, I think, was the unloading standard, and 600 for loading.

The paper published a lengthy piece Friday about the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Conservative commentators have used the term to describe liberal women protesting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7.
. . . .
The paper leaned on academics to explain conservative criticism of affluent white liberal women. Rutgers political scientist Dr. Shauna Shames told the NY Times the term stems from anxieties about race, gender and immigration among Trump’s base.

It probably should be. Great action filmmaking combined with effective Hollywood storytelling without a romantic subplot or messaging.
There should be entire semesters dedicated to it because Hollywood has largely forgotten how to do it.
Just because it won't happen, just because the authorities won't do it, doesn't mean that the movie isn't worthy of study. Don't fall into the argument by authority on this one. The authorities are particularly terrible in this instance.

TJM,
While I'm disagreeing with you.
I'd don't think "Village of the Damned" is Carpenter's worst film at all.
I'd probably place it where you have "Prince of Darkness"(maybe higher) for much the same reason, Carpenter's strength as a director really shines in the set pieces, especially. the alien fetal reveal scene.
Also, the difference in the Brit original and this one is that the Brit version focusses on a country village England that no longer exists and so is more concerned with family and high trust community.
Carpenter's as per his tendencies focusses on how the government comes in a takes over the show, the villagers are a secondary thought.
The Brit version is emotionally stronger though because of this.

There was a crowdfunded sequel / reboot a few years back called Manos Returns, which, while replicating some of the original, ended up being even more confusing.

The Morning Report — 1/21/26
Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used legislation passed as part of the post-Civil War “Jim Crow” laws Tuesday to justify a Hawaii gun control law. The Supreme Court heard a case challenging legislation passed by the Hawaii state Legislature after the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. Jackson questioned United States Principal Deputy Solicitor General Sarah Harris regarding the constitutionality of a law that prohibited concealed carry permit holders from carrying a firearm on private property without permission. . . “So I guess I really don’t understand your response to Justice Gorsuch on the Black Codes,” Jackson, a Biden appointee, told Harris. “I mean, I thought the Black Codes were being offered here under the Bruen test to determine the constitutionality of this regulation. And it’s because we have a test that asks us to look at the history and tradition.” “The fact that the Black Codes were, at some later point, determined themselves to be unconstitutional doesn’t seem to me to be relevant to the assessment that Bruin is asking us to make. So, can you say more about that?” Jackson continued. “Things I didn’t have on my bingo card today: Justice Jackson defending the racist Black Codes as precedent for what we should consider constitutional,” Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network posted on X.A complete and utter debasement of anyone and everyone who ever suffered under the Democrat Jim Crow laws. Of course the bitter irony of this, to anyone with a conscience and an iota of moral rectitude is that it comes close on the heels of the birthday of Dr. Martin Lather King Jr. (yes I am well aware of Dr. King's failings as a man and his ties to communism, yet his beliefs and words are what matter most, especially in light of the fact that the racialist-Left are now embracing anti-white/American/Judeo-Christian evil as a means of destroying this nation and attaining absolute power, but I digress). And how does this square with Michelle Obama demanding a boycott of white-owned businesses? I'm so confused! Yes, Kentanji Brown-25 is indeed an intellectual lightweight if not a dolt whose career achievements are based solely on the content of her melanin and XX chromosomes, certainly not her brain case. But this is not stupidity on her part. This is pure political expediency on her part. She will debase herself if it helps put a torpedo into one of the key pillars of the Bill of Rights. She knows enough to know that because she's black and female, and that she has a propaganda machine fully in her corner, no one will dare question her lest they be labeled racist and sexist. In fact, I'm waiting for the usual suspects to call her citing of Jim Crow laws as some sort of brilliant judicial masterstroke. Chuckle-worthy that the case in question comes out of Hawaii, insofar as we are always quoting noted Hawaiian justices Buch M. Danno, Moe Loki and Mac A. Damia, who no doubt will be weighing in on this next item to give Kristi Noem a whack on the knuckles.
Arrests are coming soon in the investigation into an anti-ICE mob that crashed a Sunday morning service at Cities Church in St. Paul, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem appeared on Newsmax on Tuesday evening and said that arrests would begin “in the next several hours.” The secretary also said that ex-CNN host turned YouTuber Don Lemon could face charges for his involvement in the church protest as well. “There will be arrests tied to that, and people will be brought to justice for how they violated the law in that situation,” said Noem. Noem suggested that Lemon’s claim to have only been a bystander and journalist during the incident at Cities Church is belied by the foreknowledge he had of the demonstration and relationships has with activists involved. “The fact that ahead of time, before this even happened, he said that he had conducted some surveillance before they went into this church, he identified individuals that were going in with him that were activists in the work that they had done in the past, the fact that this entire situation was then posted on the Black Lives Matter website, all of that is something that they’re going to be responsible for,” said Noem.While the left yawns if not applauds Brown-25 Jackson invoking Jim Crow laws to dismantle the Second Amendment, Their heads will explode when Noem goes after the terrorists who invaded that Minneapolis Church with the FaceAct and anti-Klan laws! Oh how delicious! Let's face it, it was an act of terrorism straight up. The terrorists themselves even crow (not Jim) about making people feel uncomfortable, about ICE or whatever the issue du jour may be. Let's take it a step further — what if one or more of the scum were armed? If Renee Good could use her SUV as a weapon and if a transexual could shoot up a Catholic school and mow down innocent children, then that Church in Minneapolis could've been the sight of bloody carnage. And given who and what we are dealing with, it may yet happen. What happens when the Einsatz-Groupies of Hamas along with Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' untold number of Afghan/Taliban asylum-seekers join forces with the Anti-ICE crowd and waltz into another church or synagogue in the Twin Cities to raise a few pulses?! Speaking of terrorists and those who give them aid, comfort and support:
Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) defended the group of anti-ICE agitators who stormed a St. Paul church on Sunday, telling former CNN host Don Lemon—who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting "reconnaissance" ahead of the stunt—that critics of the incident were "getting tender about a church service." Ellison appeared on Lemon's YouTube show on Monday to discuss the protest, in which Lemon accompanied Minneapolis attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen, and other activists on "Operation Pull Up," the Washington Free Beacon reported. The group disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul based on the belief that a pastor there works for ICE, shouting "ICE Out" and other slogans.
The only thing that should be tender, is the skin on Ellison's neck after he's been sent to GITMO for an extended waterboarding session. This evil bastard. That's all I'll say. Elsewhere, Air Force One was forced to turn back to Andrews AFB due to some potential electrical system snafu, while on its way to Davos for that WEF conference. Feh.

The Heartland Institute hosts the World Prosperity Forum January 19–23 in Zurich, Switzerland, bringing together international leaders and policymakers to challenge the globalist, leftist agenda advanced each year at the World Economic Forum. While the World Economic Forum promotes a centralized, top-down vision for the global economy, the World Prosperity Forum advances a prosperity-focused, freedom-focused vision rooted in free markets, individual liberty, and rising living standards. The World Prosperity Forum will coincide with, and present a clear alternative to, the World Economic Forum taking place on those same dates in Davos, Switzerland.

Would those defending themselves, their family, and the assembly be charged criminally if they neutralize the threat? Or are they expected to die for the cause?

I understand people can get kind of testy here ( Me too) and this is not directed to you, MP4, but the "mind reading" here ( "you think this.

Such anxiety.

All of them do this, and this is a pretty mild example, frankly. Leftist men will make vicious, blanket attacks on "toxic masculinity." Leftist whites in general attack white people on every front, all the time. Leftist Jews will denounce of Zionism at the drop of a hat. And so on and so on.
The funny thing about their identity politics is that everyone in their coalition MUST stridently identify as X, Y, or Z, or at least an ally of some group, for the few remaining straight white men. They must do this daily, in a strained and inscrutable manner - "as a gay Polynesian otherkin, I believe that tariffs on Norway are a genocide of my people."
But, from to time to time, they MUST attack their own group, to show fealty to the overarching Party and its power demon masters - "Polynesian otherkin all too often appropriate indigenous cultures, which do not necessarily include a rich otherkin history in all cases. It's time to pass the mic and be an ally to our brothers in Hamas."

The first lady blamed the members, for having a pastor who was an ICE agent. She then demanded further investigation ... into the other members!
To see if they were ICE!
(yes, she is continuing to make terroristic threats)
The next lady compared themselves to Jesus. That chasing the money changers out of the temple is exactly like breaking into a church to find and hunt down suspected ICE agents.
The last guy wanted you to know that the only victims here are blacks. Because their churches--thousands of miles away and over 50 years ago--were bombed by racists.
That is the level of delusion, derangement and evil roaming the streets in Minny.

Hmmm...I guess the next step would be for these fine folks to mask up in distinctively shaped hoods, round ups the folks in the church, and take them to the nearest tree to impose justice.
And then...burn the church down.

It's pretty nice. Used to get up at 3, now I get up around 6. Working on a couple projects around the house. Set up a linux computer for the wife.
The only real downside, and it's not much, is that I chose to retire right before property taxes, homeowners insurance, and car insurance came due. Added to that, the stupid lease youngest child had to sign for their apartment at Virginia Tech which I have to pay for for another 6 months despite said youngest child having graduated and being back in Texas, means that the first month spending was roughly 25% of what I had mentally allotted for the whole year. As I said, it's not an issue - recalibration required - but it was a mild shock.

Blaming small investors for the Silver supply Squeeze is like blaming California Mercedes drivers for the high price of gasoline in that state. There is a whole lot of big player involvement in both situations. Chase Bank was fined $920 million dollars for illegally holding down Silver prices for years while they bought many, many tons of the metal, enough that they considered that huge fine just part of the cost of doing business. Until the last month or so very few people owned silver. The reason the propaganda press is blaming small investors is that the government plans to steal Silver from individuals because Chase Etc. can afford the lawyers to fight them in court, while small investors are helpless to stop them.

Oh, they know.
You all are underestimating how evil they are; who is ultimately directing them.
They know there are guns and people who will shoot in churches.
And they want that.
They want a white, Christian man shooting a black person dead in a church.
Again: They want death.
A death they can exploit.
Because, when they busted into the church, they claim they were yelling "Hands up, don't shoot!!"
(and even if they didn't, they'd still spread that lie, that they told the church members not to shoot)

Real Christianity is about profligate sodomy. It's about lying to people from a position of trust so you can lead them into wickedness. It's about dividing people, and pitting them against one another so that your masters can enslave them. It's about terrorizing young children in their churches.
It's easier for my cock sweat to be forced through a waiter's lips than for a white supremacist to enter the kingdom of heaven, and don't you forget it, crackers.

The only way to “confront the judiciary” on Day One would have been to do what Bukele did in El Salvador; and that would have required suspending the Constitution and imposing martial law throughout the country. Trump had nowhere near the support to do something like that, and the military would have mutinied and deposed him.

This isn't an optional agenda item, it's a core goal. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they intensified their church attacks in response to prosecutions.
You might be able to get them to quiet down and slightly moderate on issues like Troon Fever, but the war against religion is non-negotiable, and forever. They're Statists, and religion is affront to their power.

Every Virginian who didn’t go the polls because it was an “off-cycle” election, please bend over. You’re about to watch your state swirl down the toilet bowl. They are attacking every aspect of your life. Your ability as parents to bring up your children without interference. Every woke item to destroy your family. Your Second Amendment Rights. Your First Amendment rights, and your ability to worship freely. Not only that, they are going to gerrymander every republican seat in the state out of existence.
That’s before we get to their very first order of business- passing legislation so you can’t investigate the very questionable election that brought them to power.

Clear abuse of power by DHS and DOJ for investigating Americans exercising their First Amendment rights to speech, protest, and press. Add it to the pile. We'll have to wait until at least 2029 for Nuremberg 2.0 to get justice.
Noem would rather target someone practicing free speech as opposed to investigating her ICE agents for murder (and several other crimes).
Exactly what laws were broken? Even trespassing would be a stretch...they were not violent and did not make threats. Anyone opposed to the regime is a terrorist? Laughable

Anyone who says nothing is happening is clearly not paying attention. The post WWII order is dissolving. Decades of political/military alliances are being fractured and a new era of nationalism and free association based on the priorities of individual countries is going to replace it.
Trump is creating a new world order and building a dominant western hemisphere alliance that will focus on the welfare of the people and not international cartels of wealthy oligarchs and politicians.
Yesterday, Howard Lutnick boldly and clearly stated at Davos that globalism is dead. Can't be more clear what is happening.

We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors.
We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids.
We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors.
What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals.
Combat veterans, off-duty officers and patriotic Americans have had enough of the radical left... and are being activated across the country to back our #lawenforcement. And they're smarter...more skilled... more driven... better trained than the left … and actually enjoy sitting in a deer stand for days on end just waiting.

Death of the post-war "order." That saw all the nations of the world exploit and plunder--with help of American elites--the American people.
Because this technocratic elite, them, knew what was best for all of us.
We had to do with less, we had to dream less, we had to hold back in all things.
To fund their plans, their dreams, their development, their future.
When "fighting communism" was played out as an excuse to impoverish Americans, they moved to the "war on terror."
When that played out, they are on to "racism," or "climate change" or "Russia."

There was no "peaceful assembly", neither "the government" present at that church. And chanting lies like some 60 IQ mutant isn't "petitioning".

The EU is not taken seriously because it's fake and gay. It's a largely non-functional superstate comprised of dead or dying individual states. It increasingly has no effective power center and its internal governing process is deliberately inscrutable and unaccountable.
Even now, *decades* into the EU-as-government experiment, the "2 AM question" - that is, "who in Europe do you call at 02:00 due to an international emergency" - *still* cannot be reliably or consistently answered. The EU is a pseudo-empire, but nobody knows who the emperor is at any given time or if he is dressed.
The EU is what happens when you try to split the baby between imperial and nation-state government, and it works as well as anyone rational should expect.
The EU is disrespected because it is irrelevant, and it is irrelevant because it's a hidebound, sclerotic, weak technocracy run by anonymous midwits to control masses of retards to enslave the diminishing population of the competent in a grand game of Calvinball.

He was found "not guilty by reason of insanity" and...this is the infuriating part...set free to murder again.
Sorry, if you're insane in a way that makes you shoot people,you should, at a minimum, be institutionalized, not dumped back on the street.
That's why we have "guilty but mentally ill" as a possible verdict here in Alaska. You get sent to a mental institution first, and then, if the docs decide you're All Better Now, you get to go to prison for the rest of your term.
We have this due to a case way back in the '80s, where a psycho named Charles Meach, who'd been institutionalized for beating a retarded supermarket bagboy to death, was set free, only to promptly murder four teenagers who caught him burglarizing their campsite.

The Moslems are correct.
Look at how things went in the 60s and 70s. The Marxists and their terror groups funded political Islam, trained it in the trade craft of terrorism, and maintained direct operational links with them in many cases. The poor dumb browns were on the wrong end of the power dynamic, and their revolutionary consciousness would develop according to preordained dialectics with the help of proletariat vanguard leadership. They would be used against the capitalists, and then run their fiefdom as good socialist apparatchiks.
Problem was, the European radicals were unserious, middle class students, and when that generation hit middle age, they melted right back into bourgeois society, took jobs at NGOs and in government, and served the continent up to their deadly serious, much more aggressive comrades.
Last week UAE canceled its study-abroad program in the UK, because they got tired of their sons returning from London radicalized by the Brotherhood. So that's how that went.

That getup has a predictable lifespan so should be replaced before they go bad. And when the bearings start to go there's a funky armature clearance indicator that gives you the possibility of stopping it from spinning before it totally rekts itself.

Ellison using a Dorothy Parker phrase, "getting tender about?" It's actually interesting and mocking, too.

Who are the Dumb Friends by Keith Ellison 'standards'? The general public? The worshipers of the Protestant church invaded by protestors in St. Paul, MN?

- Micron has bought a 300,000 square foot factory in Taiwan from Powerchip for $1.8 billion. (MSN)
Powerchip manufactures DRAM, but is much smaller than Micron or even Taiwanese competitor Nanya. Micron is valued at $400 billion - the largest pure-play memory company in the world. Nanya's market cap is now around $25 billion, and Powerchip is around a third of that.
The new site is expected to be producing DRAM in volume by the second half of next year.

I have lived long enough to see the culture go completely to rot. Actually, three times. When a threshold was reached I moved to a better place and watched the problem repeat.
Keep out of the cultural currents. Stay off the X (double entendre). Purge the social crap, then life is what can be expected if you have high standards in a Fallen and cursed world.
In the meantime, enjoy the things that you have earned and have built.
The technical side of pretty much every industry has grown to great new marvels, enjoy what you can, be aware, but don't immerse in the fact that evil people corrupt all of these things.
But the most important thing is be Grateful for every blessing, count those, and there isn't time to worry about the rest of the world - just be aware what they are doing and don't be a part of them.

Cold, is no problem; kick on the fireplace. Wet; we are above the five hundred year flood plain.
Cold and Wet, mean iced over branches and power lines. Just added 300+ gallons to the propane tanks and 30+ gallons of ethanol-free for the generator.

I think the principal concern should be what we do if the power goes out. Bitter experience tells us we'll be the last ones to have it restored.
We have two 7500 watt generators and a 3500 watt one. We also have a transfer switch so that we can run the furnace and well. So, yes, I'll make sure we have plenty of gas on hand. They were scheduled to deliver propane on Monday, but they've deferred it to next Monday. In any case, the tank is about half full.

This is only because of a total breakdown in theology and science.

• "They" are too far away for practical interstellar travel.
Theology:
• Order of the timing of Creation
• Imago Dei
• Scope of the Fall and Redemption
• The future of the Universe
Only a few Christian denominations haven't corrupted these key doctrines for teaching that we are alone in this wide universe.

Dittos. Not so bitter though, if you prep. Before the Great Texas Freeze and Power Outage of Feb 2021, had no generator. Fortunately we were on the same grid circuit as a number of nursing homes so the power was out for a few hours, not for a week.
Now have an inverter generator that can drive a five-ton heat pump plus all the usual stuff in the house. Problem is when the heat strips kick in for a few minutes for de-icing of the lines - it exceeds the generator's capacity. Noticed that Harbor Freight has one suitable enough for $2200.
The smaller the better because 95% of the time, the generator only feeds no more than 1000W of total household use. Its when the microwave, septic tank pump or water heater kicks in that the extra head room is good.
I can keep a house at 72°F in the 100°F summer on 14 gallons a day. A Generac can't touch that number. I don't know what cold will do, probably just run the blowers and let the fireplace do the work.

I recommend, given the temperatures, that for the churches they attempt to raid that the demonstrators are given a free outdoor baptism.

Must Listen: Justice Alito reveals the obvious irony of citing the Black Codes as justification for Hawaii’s 2023 firearm restriction law.
“They wanted to disarm the Black population in order to help the Klan terrorize them...they wanted to put them at the mercy of racist law enforcement officers. So is it not the height of irony to cite a law that was enacted for exactly the purpose of preventing someone from exercising the Second Amendment right, to cite this as an example of what the Second Amendment protects.”

Governing is much harder than getting people outraged for clicks.
What @HarmeetKDhillon has been exposing in the last few days is that there are a lot of people in the commentator and influencer space who view their main role as just to create anger and outrage, whether it is justified or not.
You should not trust those people to give you reliable information about what is happening or what is feasible because that isn’t their goal. It’s also not their goal to drive actual results.

Feel good story Cajun Navy Travels To Oklahoma To Find Missing Boy — Brings Him Home Safe
A happy ending came for 12-year-old Ryan “RJ” Davis, who was recently found safe in Oklahoma thanks to the efforts of the United Cajun Navy. Nine days after being reported missing by his mother and stepfather, RJ was found safe indoors, unharmed, and warmly embraced by his rescuers. Authorities believe RJ ran away to seek safety away from his parents’ home. “He gave us a hug and we told him that he was safe and nobody was going to harm him anymore, and he gave us a big hug and he was ready to go eat some pizza,” said Thomas Gentile of the United Cajun Navy. Local authorities confirmed RJ is now in a safe environment, and he will not be returning to the property where he was previously living. The community played a key role in bringing RJ home. “I asked for the media’s help and we got it,” said Chickasha Police Chief Goebel Music. “How I know that to be true is that where I met and spoke with RJ, when I was hugging him, he said, ‘Hey, I saw you on the news.’ So, what you did worked.”Check out the whole thing.

----- Not exactly wholesome Walrus Penis Bone Stolen from Iconic Camden Cheesesteak Restaurant
A decades-old walrus penis bone that had become a quirky fixture at Donkey’s Place, a well-known cheesesteak spot in Camden, was stolen by a bar patron, according to the restaurant’s staff. The item, considered a good luck charm by employees and regulars, was taken by a man who had reportedly been drinking for several hours with two others. Surveillance footage shows the suspect leaving the premises with the walrus penis bone in hand, shortly after the group asked to see it.Really? A bone from a walrus' junk? People need help. ----- Spalding! Don't touch it! Something huge and brown is crossing the Atlantic from Africa to America, and satellites can no longer ignore it
For more than a decade, satellites have watched a brown streak grow across the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2025, that streak reached a new record of about 37.5 million tons of floating seaweed stretching over 5,400 miles, roughly twice the width of the continental United States. Scientists call it the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, and it is now big enough to be tracked from space almost every year. A new scientific review led by marine scientist Brian Lapointe at Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute pulls together forty years of data to explain how this happened. Published in the journal Harmful Algae, the work shows that a mix of natural forces and human made nutrient pollution has turned a once patchy seaweed into a recurring ocean-scale belt that threatens coasts, economies, and even the climate.But OF COURSE - it threatens the climate.

The county has prepared all snow removal/management equipment for the expected storm:
The two snow shovels were located and dusted off and Caleb's 1973 Ford pickup was gassed up down at Wally's Filling Station. Violet is fixing biscuits and cornbread just in case.
The models for here are too far out to truly get worried but right now, they are calling for at least 10 inches of snow. Honestly, if that happens, we'll be cut off from the rest of the country until May or so.

were you a lord of cobalt?
ONE SINGLE typo would cause your entire program to be ignored (and not run at all).
better were dropping your deck or forgetting to remove the rubber band before shoving them in the reader.
personally, i found that making a typo while punching a card made me mess up the next two or three cards as well.

Mixed emotions about that story. Glad he's okay, of course.
At not quite that boy's age, I "ran away" for an hour or so one day. I was frustrated by something, I forget what exactly, but I was teased and tormented frequently by siblings, and didn't get a lot of help from parents. Seemed like nobody understood.
I didn't go far, and came back fairly soon. Got the belt. Never ran away again, with that kind of welcome-back.
You don't know your family dynamic is not healthy when you're growing up in it; you just think it's all like that. Even when you have Leave It To Beaver for contrast.
Like having Eddie Haskell for a brother.
Middle of the last century was a different universe.

I do. I took a Fortran course at The Ohio State University back in the day. One compiler error meant a helluva lot of searching through the deck, and if you had to make little piles of cards to find the error(s), then you had better put the new, corrected cards in the right pile and then restack the piles in the correct order.

The whole town (and the airport) are built on a river delta island composed of peat and sand, fully water-saturated. When the next big earthquake hits, all that stuff will become fluid, and buildings will simply topple over, or sink into the muck. City of Vancouver is mostly on high ground, with bedrock below the soil and sand, and likely will survive, more or less.

"49 The 1932 The Most Dangerous Game w/ Joel McCrea and Fay Wray is coming up on Movies! at 5 am central. I know of it, but have never seen it. This would have been the year before Fay became famous for her turn in King Kong.
As for McCrea, he was a solid performer for several decades. His title role as "Sergeant Hook" with Barbara Stanwyck in the '50s is a great adaptation of the Jack Schaefer Western short story (which I admire tremendously), and he is perfectly cast."
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 20, 2026 05:13 AM (wzUl9)
Wolfus, if you like both these actors, check out Joel McCrea in "Barbary Coast", with Miriam Hopkins. He was in the early stages of his leading man development, but he takes over the screen. And, Fay Wray did a fabulous pre-code comedy called "They Met in a Taxi", with Chester Morris. A quintessential example of the "big mis" (misunderstanding) plot line. Just fun, snappy dialog.
OK, now going back to read the post.

Did Trump do anything to stop the BLM riots? How about the DC riots when he had to go into the bunker? Any arrests that led to convictions?
ICE agents being shot at (2x in Texas); attacked everywhere. White software engineers eating lunch are attacked by mobs thinking that they are ICE.
The J6 "riots" included people who never even entered into any buildings. The FBI hunted them down to the corners of the Earth. The FBI hunted down elderly Catholic women praying outside abortion clinics.
What is happening now, everyone agrees must be stopped before blood runs in the streets because the Left has no brakes, only accelerators.
We need to seriously consider the fact that Trump is comfortable with a hot civil war with thousands of casualties.
Its HIS track record.

It isn't that the Left hates law enforcement, its just that the Left hates the idea that they can't use them to torment and incarcerate their enemies.
All the things they say that they are upset about ICE, pulling white people people over demanding their papers, following cars, tracking people, setting up dragnets, blowing their horns like police sirens - they are doing. They are blocking people, dragging them off while complaining about kidnapping, that is exactly what they are doing.
They act like police, judge, jury, executioner; have their own laws and civil codes - all the Cargo Cult elements of a tyrannical police state.

Lots of news stories about the snow in Kamchatka. That pic shows up on some of them, so it probably is real.
The most unreal part of it is the 6-story apartments with 6-to-10-story snow drifts on top of them.
And they haven't collapsed. Ivan's got some strong building codes.

We need to acknowledge that Canada hasn't been an independent nation in decades.

Depends on how Trump is engaged. If Canada, or for that matter, a bunch of drunk gypsies decided to go kinetic, yes the US would lose if we relied on Trump to send in physical force.
But if it isn't kinetic and is about deals and palace intrigue, Trump sweeps the floor with all of them.
Fortunately, EU doesn't even have a band of drunk gypsies and that is why Trump owns them.

We are on our own, and if it was only a 100 Karen Kommandos, how damned hard is it to sweep them up and lose them in some federal canvas tents in the middle of a military base?

BTW, I think Blue Oyster Cult is going to appear at one of the big Indian casinos next month. There is a spare room here if that interests you. And there is a big Harley dealer about 8 blocks from here.

My house in Alberta? I turn off the well pump, and house water pressure system, leave the gas furnace on low heat, and have a 300 watt electric fan heater in the basement, set to come on if the temperature drops below 50 or so. And a neighbor stops in twice a week to feed the cat, who in turn catches mices.

I went to one of the other shops over the weekend and built a motor that we took apart in november, so thats done.

To "summerize" the place here in AJ, I pour a little baby oil into the toilet bowls, to stop the water from evaporating out of them, and allwoing sewer gases to come up through the traps. Have the water turned off at the meter, and shut off most breakers in the panel.

AF1 sure isn't in the air all the time, either. If an airline owns a 747, it's not making money on the ground. So they fly those planes until the wings fall off. An airliner 747 probably gets more airframe hours on it in one year than AF1 has had since it was built.

Have a wall tent and kni-co stove. The flip vent lets a little bit of the flames & light dance on the walls of the tent, it’s peaceful and contemplative.
When that fucker burns down though, and goes out, it starts ticking and gets cold in the tent almost instantly. LOL

Hitting the rear stabilizer, getting munched by other planes in the formation wasn’t unusual. One B-17 ended up with just the headless torso of a guy from another plane on the navigators desk. They figured out who it was eventually from laundry marks on the clothes.
I still can’t figure out how those guys got up in those planes over and over. Completely crazy.

I recall when we had our beloved Hound neutered. He was a stray and would not come into the house. He would not get in the car. He had been abused and was terrified.
We were finally able to get him to the vet for surgery. He came home wobbly. Hubby picked him up and carried him into the house. We and our cats sat around him that night and comforted him in the living room.

They have the wood splitter from Hell in the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Some farmer took an old steel tractor wheel, and welded a big-ass wedge to the rim of it. Wheel was mounted in a frame, with a very solid anvil, that had a gap for the wedge to pass through. Wheel was driven by a flat belt from the side PTO on an old tractor. It just went round and round constantly. User would place an end of the log on the anvil, and tip it into the patch of the wedge as it came around. Sounds like a great way to lose fingers or a whole arm.

Pretty much the standard design nowadays. 27 tons of pressure will do a number on a finger. Ask me how I know. They used to make auger type splitters but those had safety issues. Neighbor, years ago had one that he ran off his tractor PTO. A strap from his bibs got caught by the auger and pulled him into the auger. He lost his leg.

15 years and two companies later, at a conference, I run into my old boss, who tells me that they got an order for more of that product, they dug out the cards, had some contract company run them through a reader onto an 8" floppy, and it worked fine on Fortran77.

The silver market has been in a state of flux for about a decade. Small investor demand for the poor man's bullion has put extreme pressure on supply. Combine that with China, the no. 3 exporter restricting exports and supply has been seriously squeezed. This isn't the first time London has been caught selling phantom silver. A chunk of the big players holdings are paper. They're having a harder time moving it because buyers want physical silver now. The supply squeeze isn't going away anytime soon. There was a rumor that Musk's level of concern has him looking at investing in the production end.

The London Bullion market is in deep trouble: they've sold the same Silver bars to several different customers, and the customers want delivery. Did you ever see the movie The Producers?

I haven't seen The Producers, but I saw Bugsy. Mr. Siegel sold the same shares to multiple people never dreaming he would not be able to pyramid it back to them. (Actually, that's not a pyramid scheme, but it's some sort of scheme.)
I'm very surprised that The London Bullion market has made this kind of error. I think of London as still being a, if not the, world finance center.

Hmm. If I understand the other science correctly, areas over the deep sea don't have that many fish at one time since there's not much to eat and nowhere to hide. The Sargassum Belt may provide such a place, but that's speculation on my part based upon my imperfect interpretation of other things that I have read.

Snowy night in Tokyo
by @Omicram_Box
The creepiest of all dance moves. Cute little puppy sneaks in for a bashful kiss. Dog makes friends with some donkeys. Big cat combat crawl. Cat brings her kitten to snuggle with her human. Watchcat on duty. Sneaky single mother cat tricked a poor dog into thinking he's the father. Attention-seeker. Ping pong rope-a-dope.
Aw: Senior dog needs a little help to play fetch, and the younger dog supplies it.
The younger dog lays toys for the older dog so it can also play fetch..🐕🐾🐶😍 pic.twitter.com/ogLgllfo1u

Trump's methods are clumsy and embarrassing, but there is a serious concern behind them.
Posted by: John Lawrence
Here's my take from watching Trump. He has masterfully prepped the battlefield. He puts out the most outrageous demands and gets the response he wanted.
Now, he'll come back and offer a 100 year lease. The Euros can save a little face while we now can invest knowing regardless of what government may come, we have what we want from Greenland. We can invest in infrastructure for mining, etc. and finalize the missing piece of the Golden Dome. The Danes can probably wet their beak on the mining.
Also, the current residents can remain subjects of the Danish crown which has done so much for them. I assume they're all on the dole, so we won't have that expense. They said they wanted to remain subjects, so go and may God have mercy on your mercenary souls.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck”.

Property rights, Rule of Law. Presumption of Innocence. Equal rights under the Law. Right to face one’s accuser.
Business and capital investment depends on certainty. Reasonable certainty anyhow. Planning ten years out, one could reasonably predict interest rates would be in historical ranges. There wouldn’t have been a military coups and currency revaluation and sovereign debt default and all that bullshit.
As a consequence of all these things, and more, America drew top talent and money from around the globe. It ain’t rocket science. But government has become infested with cretins and idiots, and indeed rapacious financial entities “too big to fail” have achieved regulatory capture. The currency has turned to confetti.

I was just reading about the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), which operates like a terrorist organization. Their latest little endeavor is to adjust for people who work from home, which has escalated. A lot of the people who left California moved just over the border to Nevada which has no State Income Tax. As they are working from home it would make sense to do so. California is still making them pay State Income Tax if they have the least little connection to California in the company they work for despite all their wages being paid to them in a separate state.

It always depends on Spring Rain here. If we get the rains in May/June, we are ok.
Without those, we burn. Regardless of snowpack.
Mostly due to the lack of soil here.
Snowpack is great and all, but not without something to impound runoff.

The Swing years, between El Nino and La Nina usually do this to the Intermountain West.
The good snow is east and south (of me) in those years.
We do usually get late snow into March/April on those years, though. So, there is still a bit of hope.

Reminds me of the story of the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving. After fully half of the colonists starved, the governor came up with the idea of using, essentially, capitalism to organize their society, instead of what was essentially Socialism. It was fabulously successful - abundance was the result. So they thanked ... God. Essentially calling it "good luck".
Hundreds of years later, the lesson still hasn't been learned.

I guess most, if not all the power in Iceland is "renewable". That sounded ridiculous to me - the idea of solar power that far north, but that wasn't what they were talking about. It was about hydroelectric, and ... geothermal. Being of volcanic origin, maybe it's a pretty ideal place for doing geothermal. Sounds great to me.

I think it was back in 2014 or '15 we had a pretty impressive snow storm here in KY.
I had an old Chevy Silverado Z-71 with 4X4. On our way back home after picking up some booze (a requirement) we passed two county snow plows that had gone off the road and tipped over.
Yea.... KY is so prepared for snow.

In Socialist Grifter Millionaire Paradise of Davos, Gavin Newsom Calls Upon World Leaders to Oppose the United States
Before getting to that: The EU is very bothered about Trump's drive to take Greenland.
Trump has threatened punishing tariffs against the EU for opposing his takeover of Greenland.The European Union's top official did not hold back in her warnings about President Donald Trump's threat to impose fresh tariffs on countries opposing his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Trump's threats "a mistake" and questioned U.S. trustworthiness, saying that the EU-U.S. trade deal from July had to "mean something." "Arctic security can only be achieved together. This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The EU and U.S. have agreed to a trade deal last July. And in politics as in business -- a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something," Von der Leyen said.This woman routinely attempts to impose European anti-speech controls on US citizens by shellacking Elon Musk with fines. We're not friends.
...
All you do is coerce the US.
French President Emmanuel Macron also addressed the issue at Davos, saying the tariffs could force the EU to use its anti-coercion mechanism against the U.S. "for the very first time," The Associated Press reported.
The outlet noted that he argued that allied countries should be focused on bringing peace to Ukraine and ending the nearly four-year war with Russia.Then stop buying Russian oil.
Trump announced on Saturday that starting on Feb. 1, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands and Finland would face a 10% tariff on all goods imported to the U.S. The rate will then increase to 25% on June 1. The president added that "this tariff will be due and payable until such time as a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland." ... Some European nations recently tried to flex their muscles with a brief troop deployment to Greenland. France, Germany, Sweden and Norway participated in a two-day exercise to bolster the Danish territory's defenses amid Trump's threats. Germany deployed a reconnaissance team of 13 personnel, France sent 15 mountain specialists and Sweden, Norway and Britain sent three, two and one officers, respectively, according to Reuters.
I continue not understanding Trump's fascination with Greenland. But when I hear our ungrateful EU enemies shrieking, my opposition to Trump's takeover decreases. About that Russian oil the Europeans keep buying while pretending to support the Ukraine:
Scott Bessent wants to know why Europeans claim they're supporting Ukraine while they're arming Russia by buying Russian oil.
Barron TrumpTrump blasted the "foolish fortune-tellers" forever prophesizing climate doom. Commerce Secretary Harold Luthwick blasts the WEF: "Globalism has failed." He assails the organization for endlessly pushing companies to "off-shore" and "far-shore" all of a country's jobs to foreign nations.
@BarronTNews_ 4h 🚨 HOLY CRAP! Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just went straight at Europe to their faces in Davos. "Let's be clear. Europe is STILL buying Russian oil. Still. Four years later." "They are literally financing the war against themselves."
Howard Lutnick just walked into DAVOS and TORCHED the globalists.

On the EU tariffs,
I am really disappointed that Trump did not match their VAT.
VAT is an *export subsidy* as well as an import tariff. This is straight up mercantilism and Trump should be addressing that for starters.
If trade was fair between EU and USA, the only thing we would ever import from them would be artisanal cheeses and wine. Maybe some luxury goods made by Chinese in Italy.

Golden Dome and to prevent it from being used as a weapon against the US.
I also think it is to divorce ourselves from Euroland as they were struggling to get us into a shooting war with Russia over Ukraine.
Euroland does the same twostep that China does--Panda face and War face except via Nato and EU faces. So Trump is busy nuking all these multilateral international treaties and organizations that act against US interest (often being stabbed in the back by the EU as much as our adversaries like China or Russia).
Bringing things back to bilateralism means that the results are much more reciprocal than US takes it in the shorts every time.

I love the meme of Trump pretending to be a mullah to go to Greenland. The only thing I understand is a need for protection (I guess Iron Dome like Israel?) and keeping Russia and chy na's paws away from our continent. As well as the rare minerals.
After reading of the eugenics that Denmark did to the Inuits, I don't see why they'd be loyal to them. It was Margaret Sanger stuff, but decades later, in what was done to our Native Americans.
One lady said she could not have children because at some point someone inserted an IUD into her uterus. At another point she had pain (I guess from the IUD) and had her fallopian tubes removed.
They also live in apartments with black mold that are not well insulated and freezing cold. The very few jobs there (fishing) don't pay squat.
I think I'd want America at this point!

My response: Are you a f-ing idiot?

- Panama Canal -- We built it! but a year ago China controlled both ports so if there was a war, we would be denied access.
- Philippines!! -- They were a colony. They were allies. Then they invited in China and started handing them chunks of territory.
Nothing is settled until the entire world understands that USA is serious and will bomb their asses if we think they are about to turn on us. We have avoided that stance for too long.

China has a habit of ignoring boundaries, international laws and sovereignty. They plan on exploiting the Arctic in any way they can for petroleum, rare minerals, fishing etc. They feel they are entitled.
Greenland offers shipping routes and a base opportunity for these goals. Trump is correct to take contrary measures. Even if they are expensive.

Same as the welfare class that hates the police but can't quit getting a welfare check.
They used and abused the US and refused to revise (even had their flying monkeys in DC and interest groups) the old Cold War understanding. Constant backstabbing in diplomacy, constant reneging on NATO spending, stealing, regulating, and fining US companies to try to prop up their home industries, and tariffing and regulating the hell out of US imports while running trade surpluses for decades.
Frankly I don't care if they go commie or Muzzie but their value as allies to the US is approaching nil.
Lower than nil when they tried to get us to fight directly with Russia or provoke Russia by stealing all the frozen wealth to repay their banks and refill their treasuries.

Kosovo has an ancient coal power plant from the Yugoslavia days in desperate need of upgrade/replace. The US was all ready to help them build a modern coal facility, as the country has limitless lignite and would therefore have energy independence, but the EU partners said "no" and crushed the plan.

He has the same coke dealer as Kam for word salad.
He also may be snorting his food like that weird woman as he sounds like he has hummus up his sinuses.
I assume he's there as he's wanting some cred to be our next president. Which only a bubble head like he or Kam can dream about.
In reality he's there to beetch and whine about President Trump. I know it and he knows it. I hope he gets moldy coke in Davos. A fungus to his brain via his sinuses.

A realm of wealth, with treasures rich and great.
In icy grasp doth lie both gold and grain,
To claim it thus would ease our land's disdain.
From Denmark's hand, this jewel we should seize,
A bold stroke fit to bring our foes to knees.
With visions grand, unite the North and South,
Transform the frost to riches, cease all doubts.
O Trump, take thy chance, let history decree,
In conquest lies the path to destiny!

I have a few antique Windoze machines that run specific programs that I don't want to buy again at inflated prices (mathematics and stats).
Tax programs though don't run well on Linux through WINE. So the Mac would just be for taxes only. I hated safari and the various crap that Crapple does from having a Mac at work for years but Microsoft has taken the lead in a focus for my hatred.

An obvious step to take is to establish Greenland as independent from Denmark first, anyway. It is literally Greenland's right at this point, according to Danish law.

The Globe and Mail (via a rando twitter link)
military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days.
Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics.
The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said.

No, its got bits of forest, rivers and things. Soviet partisans did a lot of work there and after the war the Ukrainians gave the Soviets problem for years afterwards.
The thing is, Russia only wants the Russian parts. That's what the whole stupid thing is about - a border adjustment. You don't have to worry about insurgencies if all the people are friendly.

At this point the happenings began to escalate. Eager to make an epic display of retardation demonstrate resolve and independence in the face of these sudden American ambitions on Danish territory, a variety of European countries announced they would send soldiers to Greenland in a display of “military solidarity” with Denmark. Germany sent a grand total of 13 or 15 soldiers (reports vary) to defend the icy island against the Americans. They departed on a matte grey A400M Atlas military transport with plenty of press on hand for photographs.

Greenland was called "Greenland" by the Viking because when they first discovered it during the Medieval Warm Period, the climate there wasn't so bad, and they could grow crops.
Later, things got cold again for a while, and they bailed out because it got too cold.
Trump figures: Either the Global Warming predictions will come true, or they won't.
If they come true, then by snagging Greenland he just acquired a huge amount of prime real estate back when it was undervalued.
If they don't com true, then the climate catastrophe cult will collapse and the US wins the long-term war anyway.
It's a win-win scenario, by betting on both sides.

Here's my take from watching Trump. He has masterfully prepped the battlefield. He puts out the most outrageous demands and gets the response he wanted.
Now, he'll come back and offer a 100 year lease. The Euros can save a little face while we now can invest knowing regardless of what government may come, we have what we want from Greenland. We can invest in infrastructure for mining, etc. and finalize the missing piece of the Golden Dome.
Also, the current residents can remain subject of the Danish crown which has done so much for them. I assume they're all on the dole, so we won't have that expense. They said they wanted to remain subjects, so go and may God forgive your souls.

Mint is a nice take on Debian. Ubuntu has been pushing the boundaries lately to take on Arch installs with up to the date kernels, etc. If someone wants Ubuntu, go with the LTS versions and wait about six months until installing the latest LTS version after it becomes available. I've used Linux since about 2008-9 for my main internet computers and even using open office and now libre office suite for most needs.
Debian is becoming a much more viable option as well for the DIY sort.
Arch is a good OS but does require some user maintenance to fix issues from being at the cutting edge of kernels. BSD Unix is also seeing a revival lately but not for beginners.
I am a bit irritated for the RAM shortage as I was intending to build a new system to run OS in containers which would let me get rid of some hardware. Prefer at least 64 gig of ram to do that.

It's because without exclusive diktat over all of the affairs of Greenland, the Russians and the Chinese will continue to push for, and will eventually consummate, deals for their own presence on the island. And Trump WILL NOT have that.
There are no guarantees that Denmark nor Greenland could make which would prevent the Chinese & Russian movements into Greenland in perpetuity. That's why Trump wants full ownership of the place.

Of Course: Jihadist Muslim Antifa AG Keith Ellison Prosecuted Christians for Protesting Outside a Mosque Under the FACE Act, but Insists His Left-Wing Antifa Thug Buddies Have an Inviolable Right to Storm Christian Churches
Chuck RossChuck Ross at the Free Beacon:
@ChuckRossDC ABOUT FACE: Minnesota AG Keith Ellison has called for the use of the FACE Act to prosecute protests at mosques, according to @FreeBeacon
review. Now, Ellison insists the FACE Act shouldn't apply to Don Lemon and comrades' storming of a church. I should mention: the two mosque cases involved protesters *outside* the mosques. Don Lemon and friends did their thing *inside* the church.
By saying he took the military action of "reconnaissance" before an action, Don Lemon again confesses to being a part of the church invasion, not just a disinterested "journalist" who just happened to have been there.
'They're Getting Tender About a Church Service': Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Defends Left-Wing Agitators Who Stormed Minnesota Church
'None of us are immune from the voice of the public,' Ellison said in an interview with Don Lemon, who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting 'reconnaissance'
Oh we're "tender"? We're pussies? Well we'll see what happens when we storm a mosque. We'll see who's "tender" then.
Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) defended the group of anti-ICE agitators who stormed a St. Paul church on Sunday, telling former CNN host Don Lemon--who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting "reconnaissance" ahead of the stunt--that critics of the incident were "getting tender about a church service."
... The incident sparked a federal civil rights investigation and calls to arrest Lemon for his role in the ordeal. A defiant Lemon mocked the churchgoers on Monday, saying they had a sense of "entitlement" that stems from "a white supremacy." He also insisted he was at the protest as a journalist and not an activist, and that disrupting a church service is protected by the First Amendment. Ellison agreed. "I think that protest is fundamental to American society. You know, it's freedom of expression. People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. And none of us are immune from the voice of the public," Ellison told Lemon. "They're getting tender about a church service now," added Ellison, who is Muslim.Unrelated: The Bulwark -- created, allegedly, to "conserve conservatism" -- is having a banner day. Bill Kristol says he can answer the question "Can a man become a woman?" easily -- yes they can, and he knows many trannies he considers to be women. Extravagantly queer Tim Miller says that women shouldn't be bothered to see dicks in their locker rooms because he, too, sometimes sees dicks in locker rooms that he has no interest in. (Citation needed.) And Mona Charen says that any NeverTrumpers who chose to support Trump anyway because elections are binary choices and the left is worse just have difficulty with thinking.
Well said by @Timodc. I’d add that no one is under any obligation to answer metaphysical or theological questions.

Having said that, I suppose if I were asked, I’d answer: Yes. It seems pretty clear-cut to me. I mean, I personally know adults who were men and are now women. https://t.co/VafiiUAKz7

One of the most clarifying things about you and The Bulwark is that you will simply attack anyone who isn't you, even the most never-Trump people on the right, making a completely rational observation. Just as you are doing here.

The left is pretty clear about this stuff.
When they have power they use it against their enemies. The church protestors are their people so of course Ellison is going to defend them.
I expect they will continue escalating in MN unless they are stopped. Yes Karen Deathwheels ate a bullet for attacking an ICE agent, but it looks like they feel they can ramp up the violence against non/off duty federal agents

The "seeing body parts you don't want to see" is MAINLY about children, which is why the buldykes are for it.
The other side is the "having my body parts seen by people who are getting a sexual kick out of it" which is similarly important.
Which part they are studiously ignoring.

Stares openmouthed. If it has no bearing on policy, why are you supporting men in women's locker rooms and bathrooms? Why do you insist that men be allowed to mingle naked with adolescent and younger girls? Why are you demanding that we put trannies in the military? despite the fact that putting manifestly undeployable people in the military will get people killed. The whole POINT of the argument is that it harms other people, you fatuous twat.

Did this dickhead get his degree from a cereal box? NO. That is the unequivocal legal answer. Churches are private property, individual congregations are permitted to set and enforce conduct rules, remove violators, and contact law enforcement for assistance. There is no constitutional right to protest a private religious assembly. In the 1972 case Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that just because an establishment is open to the public does not mean it automatically becomes a public forum. Forty years later, in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC, the high court again emphasized the autonomy of religious institutions.
This is settled, black letter law. No grey area. Every one of those protesters should be prosecuted, should be convicted, and face years in jail. Every single one. Including Don Lemon.

Well, here they are pretending not to understand that these tranny performances in locker rooms, in front of kids, or even anywhere in public are them getting off on the act. They are using the unwitting as part of their sexual fantasy.
This is bad enough in public, but to do it in a woman's locker room is sexual assault.

"Yes, the U.S. does mine rare earth minerals, primarily at the Mountain Pass mine in California, but it heavily relies on China for processing and refining these materials, creating significant supply chain vulnerabilities for technologies used in defense and green energy. While other deposits exist (like in Wyoming) and new facilities are emerging, the U.S. struggles to compete with China's established dominance in the refining stage, sending most raw concentrates overseas for final production.

I'm having a really tough time with Minnesota. I do empathize with what I'm sure are the good and decent people of the state, but at some point you have to look at a population of people and tell them to get their heads out of their asses and take their city/county/state/national government back themselves.
I am pretty much at the point where I see massive Federal intervention in Minnesota/Minneapolis the same as I see us putting boots on the ground in Iran. On the one hand the powers in place are shit and the people are being repressed, but at the same time...you fucking voted for this shit, dumbasses.

The base at Greenland is about halfway between us and Russia, and we would be able to launch counter missiles and cut them off before it even gets close to US soil. Like our own Iron Tundra Dome.
After seeing that map I said ah, I get it. And that doesn't even include the potentially valuable Arctic Sea shipping routes, or the rare minerals connected to Greenland.

"...The purchase treaty had to be ratified by the end of October, which gave Jefferson and his Cabinet time to deliberate the issues of boundaries and constitutionality. Exact boundaries would have to be negotiated with Spain and England and so would not be set for several years, and Jefferson's Cabinet members argued that the constitutional amendment he proposed was not necessary. As time for ratification of the purchase treaty grew short, Jefferson accepted his Cabinet's counsel and rationalized: "it is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; & saying to him when of age, I did this for your good...
...The Senate ratified the treaty on October 20 by a vote of 24 to 7. Spain, upset by the sale but without the military power to block it, formally returned Louisiana to France on November 30. France officially transferred the territory to the Americans on December 20, and the United States took formal possession on December 30...his belief that the affair of Louisiana would impact upon "their highest destinies" proved prophetic indeed."

From a purely realist perspective, it is because Iran serves to create a nexus of instability throughout the Middle East that requires the US to be in a lot of places where we would be best not to be. If the ye olde times of Israel and Iran allied watching the Middle East return toward the pre Khomeini era, then the world will be a better and more peaceful place.

Say what you will about Putin, but he saved his country post-communism,
The average life expectancy of a Russian male in the early 90's dipped below 60 years, and the rates of alcoholism and drug overdose were through the roof.
That life expectancy has increased by more than 10 years and while still high, there have been drastic reductions in alcohol and drug related mortality.

Trump's One Year Anniversary: Many Successes, Many Promises Kept
Trump took office one year ago, January 20, 2025.
Amanda Head of Just the News notes some of the big success.More at the link, including the peace deals. Which brings me to a point of dissatisfaction: Trump might just have decided that Obama Was Right to Spare the Mullahs and Protect the Ayatollah. I don't know if this is true -- the USS Abraham Lincoln is still four days away (I think) from Iran -- but it looks like he's selling out the Iranian protesters he urged to take to the streets and "TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!"
Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump's return to office for his second term, and the country is nearly unrecognizable from the way it looked under his predecessor, former President Joe Biden. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate right now is at roughly 6.02%, down from about 7.04% a year ago in January, when Biden was still in office. However, that's three-quarters of a point down from the rate in October of 2023, when the 30-year fixed mortgage rate reached 7.79%. Average rates were roughly 2.5 times higher than when Biden took over following Trump's first term. ... Gas prices cratering As of January 2026, the national average price for regular gasoline is roughly $2.82 a gallon, down from around $3.08 in January 2025 under the end of the Biden administration.
The highest national average gas price during the Biden presidency skyrocketed to roughly $5.02 a gallon in June 2022, driven largely by self-inflicted refining capacity constraints. ...
Egg-cellent prices Right now, the national average retail price for a dozen Grade A large eggs is about $2.71, down from around $4.15 in January 2025 at the end of the Biden administration. The highest egg prices under Biden hit roughly $4.82 per dozen, in early 2023, and spiked again in 2025 (reaching $8.17 in some retail locations in March) mainly due to avian flu outbreaks that forced massive flock culling. ... Bidenflation no more The annual U.S. inflation rate (taken from the federal government's monthly Consumer Price Index report) now sits at 2.7% for the 12 months ending December 2025, unchanged from the prior month and down from around 3% at the end of Biden's term in January 2025. In what came to be known as Bidenflation, the highest rate during the Biden presidency peaked at 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022, the highest in over 40 years, with cumulative inflation totaling a staggering 21.5%. ...
GDP growth The latest BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) numbers show real domestic Gross Domestic Product grew at a solid 4.3% annualized pace in the third quarter of 2025 (July--September), and the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow is now pointing to roughly 5.3% for the fourth quarter of 2025 -- up substantially from the roughly 2.4% annualized growth in fourth-quarter 2024 toward the end of the Biden administration.
... Trump closes out his first year with border crossings down 95%. This drop includes the illegal-alien population, which fell by an estimated 576,000 amid over 622,000 reported deportations and reports of 1.9 million self-deportations. Under Biden's administration, the foreign-born population grew to a peak of 53.3 million by January 2025. The illegal-alien population reached a record 14 million in 2023 before beginning to stabilize or slightly decline in late 2024, contrasting with the sharp contraction in 2025 as Biden-era deportations focused more on border encounters rather than interior enforcement.
If [leftwing critics]had been right this time [that Trump is a warmonger], we'd now be hearing Trump give the command for "bombs away" over Tehran. Instead, there he was on the White House lawn Friday afternoon, pointedly thanking the mullahs for not following through on their vow to execute hundreds of political prisoners rounded up in the protests. "Iran canceled the hanging of over 800 people," Trump said, adding that he "greatly respected" the move. To those with an honest and open mind, the week's roller coaster ride illustrated how Trump's fondness for talking about America's military might is often purposeful sword-rattling. The bluster, this time and often, serves as an invitation to negotiations or is so persuasive that he gets most of what he wants without having to fire a shot. 'I convinced myself' As the week began, the scenes in Iran looked like a five-alarm fire. With the mullahs slaughtering their own citizens for the crime of protesting a collapsing economy, the calls for America to stop it grew louder, and Trump was game. He gave every indication that our military was locked, loaded and ready to go. In a bristling Tuesday post on Truth Social, he sounded prepared to take action with his promise to the brave demonstrators that "help is on its way." "KEEP PROTESTING -- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!." He urged those in the streets, adding, "Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price." Within 24 hours, he pulled back and explained the move by saying "very important sources" told him Iran had stopped killing protesters and was not moving forward with mass executions. It's not clear where he got that information, but so far it has been largely accurate. Additionally, reports surfaced that Trump was hearing warnings from our regional allies, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Turkey, that hitting Iran could ignite a much bigger war because of counterattacks by Iran and its heavily armed terror allies, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. Some warnings raised the possibility of an Iranian civil war that could unleash a flood of refugees. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also asked Trump to postpone any attack so Israel would have more time to prepare for the likelihood that it would be a target of Iranian retaliation. On Friday, Trump rebuffed the chatter that pressure from foreign leaders led him to pull back. "Nobody convinced me. I convinced myself," he told reporters. He also added that the regime's canceling of executions "had a big impact" on his decision. The Wall Street Journal added two other factors. First, military advisers told the president the US must beef up its resources in the region to carry out a significant attack and also protect our troops and allies. The second reason was that Trump was told that a military attack probably would not topple the Islamic regime but would result in stepped-up brutality against demonstrators. The upshot is that Trump's decision to hold off on a military strike was clearly the right and prudent call, at least for now.Another reason? He keeps meeting with the sinister Islamist Tucker Carlson.

Tucker Carlson is unabashedly advocating for Iran to get nuclear missiles.

This is the same regime that just murdered 20,000 of its own people, and threatened to murder President Trump earlier this week.

As I’ve been telling you for more than a year: people who are obsessed with ZOG fantasies see an Iran armed with nuclear weapons as the only thing that can save them from the evil Jews who they think control the west. That’s what all this has been about.

GrokI'm still hoping that Trump is making pacifist noises just to encourage the Iranians to stop the mass slaughter of civilians. I hope he's playing them, to give the protesters time until US forces are gathered and ready to strike. But I kind of doubt that. I think the sinister Islamist Tucker Carlson has once again tricked Trump into pursuing the Carlson Foreign Policy rather than the Trump Foreign Policy we actually voted for.
@grok After reviewing the video and multiple sources, Tucker Carlson claims Netanyahu privately told people he controls the US and Trump, based on unnamed sources Tucker spoke to. No verifiable public records or direct quotes from Netanyahu confirm this. Netanyahu denied similar claims

The latest BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) numbers show real domestic Gross Domestic Product grew at a solid 4.3% annualized pace in the third quarter of 2025 (July--September), and the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow is now pointing to roughly 5.3% for the fourth quarter of 2025 -- up substantially from the roughly 2.4% annualized growth in fourth-quarter 2024 toward the end of the Biden administration.
=======
It's a point to consider that if you remove government spending, we haven't had positive GDP growth since 2007.
Will late 2025 buck that trend? End the actual nearly 20 year depression that we've been in?

Iran is a thousand times more difficult. We don't know where the mullahs are at every time of day/night. We don't know who among these "freedom loving Iranians" are actually Islamic assholes with weapons and a desire to kill. We don't have eyes on the thousands of ballistic missiles still a threat, and we certainly don't know who's got the proverbial keys to them.
If/when all that's sorted out and if the situation still warrants "action" I think we'll see "action."

First: air strikes alone will not topple that regime. With all this warning, the top people will all be in deep bunkers; maybe we know where they are, maybe not, but Iran is a huge country.
Also: the military and paramilitary forces are dispersed to the cities; to hit them now requires hitting the cities, not just their bases.
And most of all - we do not have a good "casus belli", a strong legal justification for launching an attack, which if we're honest means starting a war at least as big as the war against Saddam. I think we could win, but this is going to be a hell of a lot longer and messier than any of us would like to think.
so what should we do?

First, make sure we are in a very strong defensive posture, both for ourselves and our allies. Iran could easily do something incredibly stupid here; launch missile attacks on Israel, or the Saudi's, or are ships just because they're desperate and crazy.
That would actually be a big win for us, since that would give us our casus belli.
after that, the best we can do is covert ops to weaken the regime, while at the same time they wither due to the complete collapse of their financial sector. Opportunities will arise in various places. Perhaps weapons can be smuggled in. Wait for the enemy to make a big mistake.
Iran is like the 3rd Reich in the spring of 1945; they're on the way down, but they can still cause a hell of a lot of death and mayhem on the way their.

I think Trump knows he's not the omnipotent King of the World and while he wants to help where he can not at the risk of hurting America or our interests. Perhaps we didn't have the assets prepared or he was warned that the thousands of jihadists Biden let into the US would hit back or maybe we just couldn't do much to hurt the mullahs without boots on the ground. Could be a lot of things but I don't think he listens to anyone enough to be swayed by an argument about evil Jews taking the world and I really don't think Tucker has much influence at all.

The only time I've ever been in public doing something like that where I felt like a complete freakin' goober was the one time I got talked into playing pickleball. Yeeeeeesh.

This is an unknowable assumption.
Killing the Mullahs would be nice but not necessary. Degrading command and control of the IRGC and the army would be relatively easy from the air. Hunting the IRGC wherever they are would also be doable because we would have total control of the air.
Air power is far different than it was in Iraq.

Regime Change is nothing like that at all - this is like trying to get Saddam out of Iraq. Remember the air campaign of Shock and Awe? Did a marvelous job of degrading Iraq's military assets, didn't budge Saddam one inch out of his seat of power. As I wrote upthread, this is like trying to get rid of the 3rd Reich in spring of '45.

I suspected this with Venezuela, and a couple days ago he mentioned it briefly that he did not want to "fire everyone" for a regime change because that is what the "very stupid people" did with Iraq and we were left with a mess.
So it comes down to figuring out a path for debathification -- or demullahization -- that does not lead to chaos. That is a tough nut.

And the interesting thing is you can break it down by departments where say Rubio or Bessent have been VERY successful and other like Bondi not as much.
Yes, before the discussion goes down that path there are different levels of challenge in different departments.
But, here is my metric for what Trump needs to do THIS year to be successful:
1) The economy is seen as strong by the end of the summer - this will have a major impact in how people vote in Nov
2) At least one national level Democrat has to be charged with something that will stick
3) At least one funder/leader of one of the larger NGOs has to be charged with something that will stick
4) RFK needs to get a criminal or civil complaint around the clot shot crap to hit someone at Pfizer, Moderna, or Fauci's minions

That's not necessarily good.
In 1916, Ludendorff accurately diagnosed the Kaiser Wilhelm as a moron and took over the economy from him. There was still a Kaiser, but he wasn't making decisions.
If Khamanei is a figurehead, and at 86 years old he assuredly is, that means the decisions are being made by the Sepah ("Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps") and the Basij. That is, by the thugs who really fucking hate westerners, as opposed to pretending to.

Yeah, I strongly doubt Tucker has any actual influence, and they may well be deliberately feeding him things to scare Qatar and the mullahs.
The report I saw on X was that the Tuesday Iranian strike was called off because Mossad believed the mullahs were going to stuff uranium in rockets and fire them off willy-nilly as sort of ad-hoc dirty bomb. So if you think that's coming it's a good idea to have the big guns nearby and Iron Dome at full readiness.

One can imagine an alternative history where in the spring of 2020 he takes Fauci off of COVID or fires him and leaves Atlas in charge. The FNM then claims EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE and the GOPe gets ready to impeach him but it all fails apart when nothing bad happens from opening up...

At what cost? At least the American Revolutionaries had an army. The Iranian protestors? How can they overthrow a regime that big and that ruthless? I don't even think the Soviets circa 1989 were ready to outright murder tens of thousands.
And they've already said they can't do it on their own; they're going to have to have some external assistance. We got it from the French.
I don't want boots on the ground, and I agree we'd have to have a solid replacement lined up -- I don't see why Reza Pahlavi isn't that solid replacement.

1. Trump's track record on foreign affairs is admirable. He's been bold, audacious and, yes, conservative. I'm inclined to trust him and not juggle his elbow.
2. Cucker is a Deep State creature and as such, all his public statements are part of an op. I wouldn't trust him any further than I can bowl him. That includes the things I agree with and the stuff I don't. It's all part of a psy op of some sort, every word out of his mouth.

Nobody was a bigger proponent of the Iraq war than Tucker. He pushed it relentlessly until things started going pear shaped.
He seems to have done a 180 but there is no doubt he constantly pushes the idea that the evil Jew are secretly running the war and dragging us into endless wars while backing terrorist supporting countries like Qatar. It's not some evil neo-con conspiracy, it's Tucker's own words.

Its not so much that Islam creates that situation - that is the natural situation. Yes, Islam exacerbates it but the more interesting part is that Christianity (and Judaism) provide an alternative without an authoritarian government
This is something of minor complaint I suppose - functionally if Iran converted to Christianity in mass it would almost certainly liberate as well...but if the Eu-nicks got their wish in Iran and somewhat secularized it you would just see a different authoritarian regime - similiar to Hussien's in Iraq.

That's apparently the word coming out of Iran... from the public there. They say Islam was more or less "forced upon them" by the mullahs.
Yet, there are many Iranians who've grown up knowing nothing but the Iranian flavor of Islam. Many of those people still embrace it. If we topple the existing government I'm not convinced another, equally virulent strain of Islamic rule won't just take its place.

Senate races create presidential levels of turnout in the states they happen. So, those states are going to see near 2024 levels that prevents surprising upsets.
Collins is going to win ME easily. Whomever wins the TX GOP primary is going to win the race by about 10 points.
NC probably trends towards the GOP now because the PVI trend in the state has gone so Republican over the last decade. Just ask Hogan in MD how being a "popular" former governor of a state with a different PVI than you loves you for a federal race.
GA could go GOP depending on how much Atlanta keeps shrinking relative to the rest of the state, but I'm not sure I'd put money on that.
In terms of the House...gerrymandering from 20 is so baked in that a wave election is like 20 seats, and the generic ballot right now is nothing like 2018.

Calling Tucker pro-Iran or “pro-nukes” is lazy smears. He’s against sending U.S. boots to die for a regime that hates us while we foot the bill. Bombing would kill thousands of our guys, spike gas prices, tank the economy, and ignite chaos—stuff neocons ignore from safety while demanding others pay the price.
Posted by: AoS Neocons are girly men... or just girls. at January 20, 2026 04:27 PM (FmzM3)
Tucker's principle sin is that he did an interview with some guest who quoted a book that suggested that aligning with the UK and Russia against Germany was probably not the smartest move ever, and that it would have been about the same or better outcome if we had aligned with a UK that had joined Germany in defeating the USSR instead.
All of which is alternative history fiction unless you want to start questioning the neocon stance on international politics.

Again, Trump and the team arranged to go after drug boats in the Caribbean. They went through a whole elaborate farce, for three months. Meanwhile they constructed a replica of Maderno's palace and trained relentlessly. When they were ready, after denying they were ever going to invade, they swooped in and took Madurno.
If you look at the last year, there has been a systemic dismantling of the threat Iran poses. Their nuclear capability and most of their missiles are gone. Houthis Hezbollah and Hamas are on the ropes. I don't *think* Trump is going to let this chance go to waste.
There is also China, who desperately needs Iranian oils, and is one of the only buyers. Trump also badly embarrassed them in Venezuela. Maybe they are trying to wave him off.
I just don't know - Trump has shown that long term strategic planning, including multiple fake-outs, is part of his repertoire.

Just standing back, and perhaps lending some covert assistance to the protesters had no downside. If the protests succeed, the mullahs fall, great. Everybody's better off. If they fail, WGAF? The status quo of an Iran without nukes persists, with an even further weakened regime.
Now, we have no good options. Trump can intervene militarily as he promised, and piss off a ton of his voters, and initiate a lengthy, ugly power struggle for control of west/central Asia - one that we will probably lose under some future President.
That sucks, but the VERY WORST option - the one we're talking about here - is a negotiation that ends up preserving the regime. It would be an open betrayal of the insurgents he told to flood the streets. The reprisals will be far worse than if he'd said nothing. And the world will look on and see a paper tiger. Trump's leverage over the world's leaders he loves to challenge will be greatly reduced.
Anyone advising that needs to be fitted for a dunce cap.

Trump is stalling for time. He's playing a delaying game so that Iran stops shooting while he gets more forces in theater.
It's kind of obvious, and he's only run this play many, many times.

Reminds me of Obama's second election, oddly enough. I remember none other than Megyn Kelly saying in effect, "Yeah, sure, it's not surprising at all that an election district of 10,000 people would vote 100% for Barak Obama". With a straight face.
I remember thinking, "Even in Iraq, where if you didn't vote for Saddam Hussein there was a good chance that they would come to your house and rape your wife, beat you, and maybe even KILL you, he would only get about 95%." But she's going to tell me that EVERY SINGLE person in that district is black, and pro-Obama. Not a SINGLE white person voting for Romney, or God forbid, a black person voting for him, even if just to be a wise guy.
Well, she was just reading a script anyway.

Surprising Few, Ohio Immigration Judges Can Be Bribed
In exclusive footage obtained by Townhall, evidence has emerged suggesting that migrants from the West African nation of Mauritania are exploiting the U.S. immigration and asylum system in Lockland, Ohio, raising serious questions about the integrity and oversight of the process.Video of these admissions at the link. We are importing rampant third-world corruption to our country for no reason, except to assuage leftwing white woman guilt. This happens all the time.
Advertisement The footage includes allegations that some migrants are being coached on how to navigate the asylum system, encouraged to fabricate claims to meet legal thresholds, and informed -- according to sources on the ground -- that favorable rulings can be secured through illicit means. These claims point to systemic vulnerabilities that make the immigration system susceptible to abuse and corruption. At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business. Golder says she takes a portion of the pay given to the Mauritanian migrants in exchange for helping them navigate the system, and she claims she can bribe judges to rule in the migrants' favor. The footage also suggests that many of the migrants involved neither embrace nor intend to adopt core American values, even as they access public resources designed to protect legitimate asylum seekers. In the 26-minute video, the undercover reporter is introduced to Golder by one of Golder's friends, identified as Cindy Reis, who says Golder helps Mauritanian migrants get their papers. "She gets them their papers. She does," Reis says before introducing the reporter to Golder. "He knows about Mulberry Street." "I try to work with them the best I can," Golder says. "You know, we were talking about maybe getting them some work," the reporter tells Golder "Yeah, that's what I'm going to do," Golder replies. "And then the question is, do they have papers or not?" the reporter asks. "Some of them have papers, some don't," Golder says. For those that don't have paperwork, Golder adds, "we pay them cash." "And then, we can make an authorization where you say they volunteer, and you pay them," Golder says.< Golder says that to get migrants work at big companies, she has to sign for them. But Golder declines to name the companies. "I have to say I can't do that...that's because of the threat of ICE, so they don't want me to leak, because ICE would go there and take them away. ICE don't play," Golder says. Golder and Reis know they're working with illegals. "You gotta work under the radar," Reis tells the reporter.
2 plead guilty in scheme to bribe DMV employees to issue commercial driver's licenses -- 4 others chargedGoogle AI's digest:
DMV employees altered records to show individuals had passed driving tests SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Two defendants, including a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) employee, pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges stemming from a scheme to sell commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to buyers who never took the required tests. In addition to Tuesday's guilty pleas, four more individuals, including two other DMV workers, were charged in a 17‑count indictment unsealed Friday. The charges stem from separate but related probes conducted by the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the California Department of Motor Vehicles' Investigations Division, Office of Internal Affairs.
Numerous cases of illegal alien driver's license bribe schemes involving DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) employees have been exposed across the United States. Recent investigations in states like Kentucky and Florida in 2025 highlight that this is an ongoing issue involving corruption, bribery, and the fraudulent issuance of identification documents. Details of the Schemes Bribery: DMV employees and third parties (like driving schools or immigration services companies) have been found to accept cash payments in exchange for illegally processing driver's licenses. Bribes have reportedly ranged from a couple of hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars per license. Bypassing Requirements: In many cases, the fraudulent schemes involved bypassing essential requirements such as written tests, driving exams, vision tests, and necessary immigration status screenings. Employees would falsify records or use shared logins to process applications without the proper documentation or procedures. Targeting: The individuals seeking the fraudulent licenses were often undocumented immigrants who needed valid identification for employment or other purposes. Widespread Impact: These schemes have resulted in hundreds, sometimes thousands, of fraudulent licenses being issued. Consequences: The schemes have led to numerous arrests and convictions of both DMV employees and the individuals who paid for the fraudulent licenses. Those involved face serious federal felony charges, including bribery, conspiracy, identity theft, and forgery, with potential prison sentences and substantial fines. Licenses issued fraudulently are subject to revocation. Recent Investigations (2025) Kentucky: Whistleblower lawsuits and investigations revealed an alleged scheme where temporary workers in regional offices were selling licenses for around $200 each to undocumented immigrants, often bypassing the Homeland Security screening process. Florida: Eight individuals, including two DMV employees, were arrested in Bay County for a "driver's license for cash" scheme. Investigators seized over $120,000 in illicit proceeds and believe hundreds or more fraudulent licenses were issued over a two-year period. New York: Multiple DMV employees and a driving school were implicated in a scheme to sell fraudulent licenses, sometimes for up to $2,000, to Chinese immigrants who were not required to take or pass the necessary tests.

It is (I think) fairly common for these scammers to claim some kind of special power with the system as a way to justify their vig.
So she just works the system using lies, coaching, and fake stories to tell the courts. But she claims she is bribing them because that now makes her operation exclusive. In truth it is just incompetent and lax and she is exploiting the weaknesses.
If she told them that, she would be replaced by a brown skinned coach telling a different set of lies.

2. Political power. Somali grundles took over the entire political machine in MN in less than 20 years. Hispanics did the same in CA and blue cities through the south.
3. Saying "fuck you" to America. Leftists hate our country and want to see it burn. Inviting in hordes of human blattodea helps that cause.
The guilty white women are just useful idiots for the cause. Plus, if they can't fuck their minotaur pool-boys, they'll settle for a swarthy man from Mauritania. Sounds close enough, right?

I strongly suspect she's a hustler and a scam artist preying mostly on her own people. I doubt she can do even half what she claims. She'll promise the moon to illegals, take a nice fat "fee," do little or nothing, and then disappear. Immigration has always been a sleazy business, from the lowest hustler up to the lawyers.

True story.
I know a guy. Senior citizen. Green card holder. Not a citizen. Been here for over 50 years. Military tour in Vietnam. No birth certificate (came from a war torn country).
Also has light to moderate alzheimers disease.
Went to the DMV in person to get his drivers license renewed. (Standard license) Walked out with a REAL ID. (the federal one good for flying).
That guy went in there with none of the requirements for proving his address and identity. None. Just had his expiring regular drivers license. Remember, he has alzheimer disease.
Best guess? DMV employee just said to herself, "Give the migrant the REAL ID. Screw the regs."
Now, this guy had no intent of fraud. Loves America. Also doesn't need a REAL ID. Has no idea what a REAL ID is. Alzheimers, remember. And he walked out with a federal REAL ID.
Blue sanctuary state, of course. But you knew that.
True story.

I'm not sure what kind of judicial corruption the founding fathers were saddled with in their day, but I'm grateful they set up a system of trial by jury. It's not perfect, but the alternate is one judge deciding your fate...and you have to hope they aren't biased or being paid off to rule a certain way. With our modern judiciary, that would be terrifying.
Though there was that judge that overturned a trial by jury conviction of a Somali fraudster and let him go...sigh!

The sleaziest are the lawyers.
After the 80s amnesty, they all made millions on those cases, charging what they could from the illegals trying to get legit.
Then when that dried up they became a massive lobby for another amnesty or some legislation that they could milk. We are talking hundreds of firms, thousands of lawyers, all trying to get the politicians to pass a law where they could make millions each again.
I think that was the momentum behind the shift where Dems kept calling for different forms of amnesty and exceptions.

Kentucky: Whistleblower lawsuits and investigations revealed an alleged scheme where temporary workers in regional offices were selling licenses for around $200 each to undocumented immigrants, often bypassing the Homeland Security screening process.

It wasn't only temporary workers, it was state workers too. And they were selling RealID's as well.
The security/documentation threshold for those illegals seeking one is significantly lower than it is for an American citizen. Two pieces of paper from an embassy will do it. And those were being forged too.

There's another form of Amazon money laundering I have seen, which is a real product with an odd description and a wildly-inflated price.
For example, I was once looking at optical components for a network switch. The product name was a full technical description of the product, with a price of $35,000. It was an $800 part. I suspect that this is just straight-up money laundering. If there's an audit, the auditor's eyes will glaze over and he will say, "yup, super expensive high-tech shit." If a demand for the part is made, it can be furnished easily enough. They probably even ship the part when purchased at 40x its value.

The Elon Musk guy who has a private space company, versus the Russians, versus the Koreans, versus NASA, is interesting. Occasionally it's woke, but it is willing to not pull punches on the plotline and killing off people! (Oh, and the president is a closeted female republican.) We landed people on Mars in the 90s...if only!
They tried to pull a coup against the Elon Musk guy in season 3, I'm going to see how that plays out in season 4. And then season 5 comes out this year.

The radical trannies are *very* pro-2A. The troons are armed up to make war against the genocidal maniacs who believe that the troons are mentally ill. They generally oppose gun ownership restrictions under the assumption that they will be targeted under such restrictions, which will make it harder for them to make war on the normals/genocidal freaks.

Newsom *might* be able to do it, but I kind of doubt it. He is probably the insider favorite, but it is hard to understate the antipathy for California outside of California. He's handsome and whatever, but he's also deeply corrupt, fairly incompetent, has a long track record of bad behavior and, crucially, is a Californian.

God works on mysterious ways. The best thing that happened to Shapiro is Kamala being so toxically DEI that he didn't end up as his VP. Leaves him fresh for 2028.
What about Mark Kelly in AZ? Mr. Astronaut?
And Waltz raising his profile as a VP candidate, and then not going away, helped shine the light on the MN fraud, and has torpedoed his career.

There is a very dangerous coalition of subversives aligned with the Democrat Party. That includes a large part of the judiciary, who has formed a breakwater against Trump’s, that is, the people’s agenda. It also includes foreign powers like the Chinese who share interests with the Democrats and want to see that agenda which is crushing their country, disappear. They are the financiers of a great deal of this activity since this administration started cleaning up all the fraud and loose ends that were pumping this money back into Democrats coffers.
These are very perilous times for our country, especially since Congress has done absolutely zero to address the widespread election fraud. Virginia was clearly just stolen and the legislature, as their first order of business, is ensuring nobody will ever uncover what they did. That’s because it’s a model for the upcoming midterms.

Some Jews from there also just used "Speyer" as a surname. Didn't mention whether Gentiles used it, too
My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Speyer. So maybe I've got some Jewish ancestry?

VIRGINIA DEMS' FIRST MOVE WITH NEW MAJORITY: BAN HAND-COUNTING BALLOTS
Forty-eight hours. That's all it took.
Virginia's new Democratic majority introduced HB968, forcing machine-readable ballots through scanners and prohibiting hand counts "for any reason" unless explicitly allowed by law.
Hand counts are impossible to hack remotely and easy for anyone to watch.
When half the country already questions election integrity, why rush to eliminate the most transparent backup method?

“military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days.
Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics.
The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said"

Jonathan Turley: Gay Sexual Assaulter Don Lemon Is Talking Himself Into a Prison Sentence
A lot of crimes turn on mental state -- "intent." James Comey can tell you all about that. He reads "intent" requirements into laws that don't have it, like the Espionage Act.
Many times, you can take prohibited actions but not be chargeable with a crime because you didn't have the specified mental state. Don Lemon obviously did invade a church. The question is: Did he intend to traumatize them? Did he intend to impede their civil rights through threat or force? Did he show animus against their religion? Don Lemon is yet another 70 IQ DEI disaster, like Candace Owens, who thinks he's smart because he's been awarded Participation Trophy after Participation Trophy. Legal analyst Jonathan Turley urges him to shut his mouth, because he's on a media tour in which he satisfies each and every requirement of the crime out of his own cocksucker.In other words, he makes it clear he is targeting the church because he hates their religious views. Not just intent, but animus.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley Don Lemon did his best to perfect the case against the protesters in the Minneapolis Church as targeting the congregants over their faith. In what sounds like a pitch for prosecution under the FACE Act, Lemon zeroed in on the religious values of the congregants in a new tirade...
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley 16h ...The former CNN host dismissed criticism for storming a church gathering, explaining "I think people who are, you know, in the religious groups like that, it's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they're entitled, and that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a White supremacy"...

@JonathanTurley 16h ...This follows organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, who leads the local Racial Justice Network, is declaring that the churchgoers "need to check their theology and the need to check their hearts."... Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley 16h ...Lemon and Armstrong are playing directly into the language of the FACE Act, which "prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to ... exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship."
🚨Don Lemon just DOUBLED DOWN, calling the church members he terrorized "entitled white supremacists" for being upset he STORMED their service to "protest" ICE!

Attacking soft targets instead of hard targets is an indication that the protestors are afraid of the consequences of hard targets now.
Having one of theirs shot and at least a handful pulled from their cars (broken windows included) and arrested for obstruction was supposed to be ignored, I guess.

I don't know if we have confirmation of that, but it's at a minimum a solid assumption of the internal, low-level messaging.
"They can only fire rubber bullets and they can't arrest you anyway because ICE has no arresting authority over crimes they witness that aren't done by illegal immigrants. Don't worry, Minneapolis PD won't arrest you, so you are cleared to do anything short of assault, and DHS can't touch you."
The left needs the ICE agent to be charged with...something. That the city hasn't even done anything is probably discouraging to them.

Not even failure theater, though. Any charge would be remanded to federal court anyway (federal law enforcement in the discharge of his duties, and all that). File the charges, get it taken away, the DOJ drops charges when they take up the case, and then blame the DOJ for the lack of actual action.

Don Lemon is purposely pursuing this because his profile has sunk into hell. Lemon believes this will revive his gravy train, especially if it goes to trial.
He’s banking on a jury in that town will eventually relieve him of any charges. Then he can ride that like a teenage boys squeak hole to the Money Hole.

a. The state win't charge you because it supports your crime;
b. The feds won't charge you because they are sad limpdicks;
c. The judge in either venue is likely to be rooting for you;
d. The jury in either venue is likely to be hung at best; and/or
e. No one is willing to dish out the punishment deserved extrajudicially.
C, D, and E basically seal the deal here.
And for "the process is the punishment" crowd, it isn't if a "legal defense fund" picks up the tab and you get a book deal out of it.
The only way any of this gets fixed is if they murder or nearly murder someone or start burning stuff down and the Insurrection Act is invoked.

He's also stupid and a loose cannon. That church stunt was a terrible idea, and the images that came out backfired on The Cause. These morons sent a grundle of rent-a-goons to harrass a small congregation of diverse races and quite a few children and older people.

The style used to be called "empire waist". Tends to make a woman look pregnant even if she's not and has a corset on underneath the dress.
It's also a less unflattering style for women with short waists or whose waist measurement is the same as their bust measurement, in addition to being the place where a belt naturally migrates to on such a figure.

The Boycott: Why truckers are saying "No More" to California
The truckers' boycott against California is a response to the state's "Green Diesel" mandates, which have effectively banned 70% of the trucking fleet. This has led to a significant disruption in the supply chain, with reports of food rotting in the Port of Los Angeles and empty shelves in grocery stores. Governor Gavin Newsom has been pleading for waivers to the mandates, but the drivers are not complying. The boycott has sparked discussions about the impact of such policies on the economy and the food supply, raising concerns about the future of the trucking industry in California and the broader implications for the nation's supply chain.
... why is this not news outside of California ?

The dirty secret is all databases turn to shit over time if you don't enforce data integrity on all incoming data. Google is betting the farm on AI and letting most of the rest of its business decay as a result. Ditto for Microsux. Personal operating systems, for example, are down nearly to single digits of their total revenue. Cloud operations and server software are what is bringing in their bacon.
So they literally do not care about losing the customers they have. That is because the big rewards of stock options for executives only comes from the market thinking Google and Microsux are going to produce truly massive new revenue streams from AI.
Same reason why GE bought NBC back in the day. They thought infotainment would bring a higher return than the mature businesses that they already had.

On the one hand, an ICE agents shot a mom in the face and cursed her as she was dying. On the other hand, some leftists were *rude in a church* where an ICE official is a leader. And a journalist recorded it! Who can say which is worse. A real fuckin' conundrum.
The one guy in the church was whining, "I feel violated, I feel interrupted, I feel angry." Lol. I hope they do it again.
Don Lemon was great! We need more journalism like this. He wasnt part of the protest, he didnt interrupt the service. He seems to have just done what a street journalist should do. Document the event and the responses to it
Don Lemon can’t go into a church to film protests but 20-something right wing weirdos can try and break into daycares across America demanding to see the children? MAGA is one powerful drug.

You do understand how the federal system works?
You cannot try a federal case using trial by information, all federal criminal cases must go before a grand jury for indictment which then goes to a judge for issuance of an arrest warrant. If a grand jury no bills, like in the Leticia case, you have to convene a new grand jury to issue a new indictment with new information gathered.
Unless a federal agent directly observes the crime creating probable cause for arrest, then the case, including criminal misdemeanors must go before a grand jury in the district where the crime was committed.
Unlike most all states, who try by information in most cases, not grand juries. Bill of Rights prevents the feds from doing the same.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

I was convinced that the government would waive every rule to get the houses built as fast as possible. The Palisades were relatively wealthy people. Definitely part of the top 5% of the state, prime source of tax income.
That they've just gone full CA in response instead shows the depths of their ideological commitment. It didn't surprise a lot of people who did predict this, but I thought there would be enough people saying, "Keep the rich people moderately happy by bypassing some red tape."
Nope. Red tape is more important than the tax base.
I can't wait for CA's budget to fucking implode from the wealth tax talk driving out 90% of the billionaires.

People mistake the state process versus the federal. Charges and arrest by information before a judge is the usual rather than grand jury indictments. Feds, by the Bill of Rights, are required to seek indictment by a federal grand jury.
Normally, state and federal authorities work together like in red states. If Lemon had done this in somewhere like Arkansas or Alabama, he would have been arrested and held on state charges until the Feds got into the act with a superceding indictment.

How many illegals have been deported? How many are still here?
Those are important questions, and I think a lot of people fear what will be accomplished by these operations will not put a dent in the problem. Followed by the fear that as soon as a Democrat gets put back in power, it'll just start up again.
What worries many is that the institutions that allowed this problem to fester for so long, have not seen a dent in their operations. Politicians, oligarchs, and the Deep State, whatever the F that is, aren't being touched by any of this.

Cut off the flow of $$$ to the illegals and put some of the people providing that flow in jail and you'll see way more people leave and for good.
As long as there is free $$$ to be had there will be an endless list of people trying to get in

I've been trying to figure out what the future revenue stream is for AI.
Is it going to be some type of subscription service? Run off Ad revenue? sell your data?
Because there is Yuge money being invested, and the infrastructure needed is going to be really expensive, as you will have to upgrade it periodically (ongoing hardware costs).

Democrat activist goes on CNN and defames President Trump by lying that he was part of a s*x trafficking ring.
Even CNN begrudgingly debunks that claim.
Trump should sue that activist.

California would be a Chicom colony protected by nukes within a couple of years if you do that. And then attacking the next states. I briefly toyed with the idea of secession working and then I came to my senses.
All it would do is create often indefensible borders for the Blue to invade the Red either overtly or covertly. It has to be stopped and this is the time and place to do it lest there be incredible amounts of blood shed in the future.
The truth is most of the land mass of the US is red, including blue states. Most of the cities in every state are blue to dark blue. Same for the isolated rural places where universities have been plopped down.
The reason why they are blue is government funding and higher education that has poisoned generations of Americans by indoctrination of shit that just ain't so. But that indoctrination has been reinforced by gobs of gubmint money, dependent jobs, and assortative marriage of likeminded products of our higher ed system. That has to be broken up to fix.

Three months after a deadly shooting in Minneapolis that left two students dead and injured 18 others as well as three adults, Archbishop Bernard Hebda, along with Auxiliary Bishops Kevin Kenney and Michael Izen, said a special Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church on Dec. 6 that included a rite of reparation to restore the church for worship.
On Aug. 27, Robin Westman — who was born “Robert” and identified as a woman – shot through the stained glass windows of the church during a morning Mass filled with Annunciation school students in first through eighth grade, killing Fletcher Merkel, eight, and Harper Moyski, 10.

The tacky woman with dreds is white, garrett. They both were also drunks.
The co-worker once came to work and was loudly harfing in the loo. I assume hung over but did not ask. I told her to go home and she got mad, so I told management either she goes home or I do. She was a clerical assistant.
I mean, who does not dream to come to a crap job and listen to loud harfing? I took it due to job sharing and needing to fly every 2wks to check on my father.
Wish I could write a book about that job vs being sued off the planet, as it was a test of mental strength to endure a couple of times a week. Petty women and a redneck woman are not a good mix.

The problem with using the cheat is the same problem with Venezuela, the regime hollows itself out to simply being a paymaster to keep the people in check, eventually the money runs out to pay the enforcers and the system collapses.

Cut off the flow of $$$ to the illegals and put some of the people providing that flow in jail and you'll see way more people leave and for good.
As long as there is free $$$ to be had there will be an endless list of people trying to get in

I'm just a simple caveman. I believe stuff like this should involve Congress, as well as DOJ doing EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to haul every politician and bureaucrat in front of them to ask them "What did you know, and when did you know it" when it comes to the billions of dollars being doled out to illegals.
But fellas like Kurt Schlicter tell me to trust the process.
Sure. And stop complaining about it on the internet.
I thought that was what the internet was for.

As a former inmate from higher ed's asylum, the secret is that most professors are not that smart, especially in the social sciences. Clever yes, smart no.
Most cannot do statistical analysis or research design to save their ass, their modeling only looks at direct effects, not second and third order ones, and they have the same belief in word power as magic that it will create the reality they want.
There is a story, Naudsonce, that is one of the best examples of politics and society using a primitive newly discovered civilization as example.
The allegory is boiled down into a quite readable short story. Free to read, H. Beam Piper wrote it if you care to find it at Project Gutenberg.

You ain't kidding. This was a long time ago, but getting my Masters degree in Electrical Engineering at one of the top engineering graduate schools was held up for months because of the statistical incompetence of my faculty advisor, who wouldn't sign off on the last thing I needed for my degree because he didn't understand how statistical correlation work. Something you learn in Probability and Statistics 101.
I was about to leave for a job, not willing to wait any longer, when suddenly he changed his tune. I can only imagine that the department head, or somebody, was told I was leaving without my degree, looked into what the problem was, and saw that this incompetent was screwing me over erroneously.
This guy was Chinese, BTW, so undoubtedly a spy. At some point he even asked me to take some Chinese student under my wing (as if I owed him a favor). Didn't happen.

Minnesota Democrat Lawmaker (and Transgender): The Church Invasion That Resulted in Children Fleeing in Fear Is "Essential," "Must Continue"
Anti-ICE mob storming church 'essential' and 'must continue,' Democrat state lawmaker says The mob screamed at women and children and harassed a young family that was trying to drive away in their vehicle. By Hayley FelandWe might start violently disrupting your gatherings. And won't that be fun.
State Rep. Leigh Finke, a Democrat from St. Paul, posted on Facebook following an anti-ICE mob storming a local church service, calling the incident "essential" and saying that it "must continue." "Actions like this--nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression--are essential," Finke wrote in a Facebook post. "And they must continue until I.C.E. is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved." On Sunday, about 20 individuals stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul and shut down their morning worship service. The mob screamed at women and children and harassed a young family that was trying to drive away in their vehicle. People in the church were left traumatized, which former CNN reporter Don Lemon said is "what protesting is about."
... In the past, Finke has defended rioting and called for abolishing the police. "So I'm here to tell you that there will be more riots. We remember Stonewall as a riot and we know now that it was necessary. The next riots will be necessary too," Finke said during a speech in 2022.

So...why are they doing this not to ICE now?
Because ICE's been arresting people for obstruction when they get in the way for a couple of weeks.
So, protestors are going after softer targets who can't fight back. That's not exactly a sign of strength.

"From 2018 to 2021, Finke was the senior producer at 1517 Media. There, she wrote and produced two documentary films: Ending the Silence: Confronting Sexual Shame in the Church and White Savior: Racism in the American Church. She also edited two nonfiction books for Beaming Books: Queerfully and Wonderfully Made and Welcoming and Affirming.
In 2021 and 2022, Finke worked as Multimedia Storyteller for the ACLU of Minnesota. In late 2022, she was publicly critical of Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen for spreading the transphobic litter boxes in schools hoax.
In March 2023, Finke started the Queer Equity Institute, a nonprofit that supports and encourages queer politicians."

335 Batshit gun case being heard at SCOTUS. Hawaii attempted to ban guns under a 'black code.' Justice Thomas had to remind them of the 14th Amendment.
I think SCOTUS took this one because it's a no-brainer. In my most forgiving mood, I can almost imagine that there might be a case to be made for a vampire law but Hawaii's ain't it. "Your honors, you should let us keep our unconstitutional laws because it's what King Kamehameha would have done."

You are essentially correct, however I would offer that voters also recognize genuine leadership. Not the typical political blathering crap, but honest leadership such as Trump displays. Sadly the media shields most of America from it and a lot of the future violence can be laid at their feet. But I believe as we approach the Midterms, we shall see more and more.

My point is that it already has blown up in their faces.
They tried to play revolutionary against DHS agents...and DHS agents just started throwing them in prison for obstruction...after wrecking their cars a bit (and probably impounding them and putting them on the fast track to being auctioned off, leaving the owners with the debt payments and no cars).
The bravest and boldest of them went after the power structure and are now facing months in prison on federal charges. So, the weaker ones go after...randos in the street and people praying in churches.

Our church's plan if protesters invade is to conclude the meeting and leave. I recently got called to be a security guy. We're not supposed to be muscle, just be a friendly greeter, keep watch at the doors for threats, spot weirdos, lock the doors a few minutes after the meeting starts, and only let normies in after the doors are locked. That sort of thing.

So I looked up this:
Screaming, in and of itself, is not typically considered assault. It crosses the legal threshold into assault when it is combined with words and actions that create a credible threat of immediate physical harm. The key elements are the threat itself and the apparent ability to carry it out, causing the victim to reasonably fear for their safety. The threat must be of imminent harm, meaning it is about to happen right away.
A guy screams at me, he cn fu*k off, but if he follows me and points a finger in my face, and even one drop of spittle touches me, that is, in my opinion, assault and I can now defend myself.

If ICE enters a church, at least they are in pursuit of their legal job.
Can't say the same about any of this.
For almost my entire life Democrats have lied about being against vigilantism.
When they really mean, only when criminals are assaulted, are they against self-deputized crime fighters. When a leftist cause is advanced, self-deputization is all the rage.
Thus they reveal the sham that all their anti-vigilantism was been for decades. They said they were for order, even though order itself is a sign of to be re-interpreted to privilege and complacency according to their whim.
Democrats have never meant a word they said. They don't stand for anything.

However, you want to clean up the streets of crime which creates victims outside of political expression, they have argued that not letting criminals take their victims jeopardizes an orderly society.
No violence can only be used to express a political will.

This is asymmetrical warfare. The normie probably has a good job he has worked hard at, maybe a six-figure income he worked hard to achieve and maybe a high-six to seven figure net worth. If he so much as pushes back, he risks it all in legal costs and reputational loss. Probably lose the job, probably lose all his money. Look what they did to the Flynn guy in Trump's first admin. Had a little 'chat' with him - next thing he knows he's charged with ''lying to the Feeb-eye and is bankrupted with legal costs.

DHS's been arresting people for obstruction in Minneapolis for weeks, DOJ's been charging them.
Acting like DOJ doesn't do anything because in the 12 hours since a crime there hasn't been an execution is silly. Things happen weeks later, after evidence is gathered and presented to a federal grand jury. That's how the legal and law enforcement process works.
The arrests outside of immediate police presence tend to happen after the stories have fallen out of the news cycle, no one notices them, and everyone forgets the original story anyway.

How long was it before the first J6'er was in jail? Not in front of a judge... in jail.
Has anyone in Minneapolis been put in jail since this shit started? It's a rhetorical question because nobody here can say, with certainty whether anyone's even been in front of a judge.
But the standard, now, should be J6. Whether it's minutes, hours, days or weeks. The fucking clock's ticking.

The left doesn't want to hear your argument.
They want to force you to accept theirs.
None of this protest is done to change minds:
It is terrorism to coerce policy changes, to abort the democratic process.
What bothers me is Republicans in Congress:
In the last decade, several of them have been nearly killed.
And yet ...?

Also worth noting that yesterday was a federal holiday and just like every other federal institution federal courts were closed.
There are 6 federal judges in MN. 5 are Obama-Biden appointees. Yes, they will try for indictments against what is obvious a hostile and corrupt court system. The DOJ has been saying so for 2 days now. There is zero reason to believe they would lie about something so blatantly obvious.

No, it shouldn't be. What was done in the deep blue federal district of DC was corrupt and lawless. It's nothing remotely like getting a lawful arrest warrant in deep blue Minnesota over a holiday weekend.
What's the goal, to be as corrupt as the left or to get our country back and live in the republic we built? Whether the arrests happen today, tomorrow or next week they are coming and people are working on getting it done. There is no real benefit to having the arrests made instantaneously other than one less thing to fight about online.

To assault innocent children, who can't vote on your demonics, is horrible. You are too stupid and high on your own farhts to note that this was not a good thing.

Canada’s Liberal government has lost its bid to overturn a 2024 Federal Court ruling that found its use of the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy trucker protest was neither justified nor reasonable.
Then-Prime Minister Justin "The Ass" Trudeau invoked the legislation for the first time on Feb. 14, 2022, authorizing a sweeping police crackdown on protesters in Ottawa who opposed the federal government’s COVID-19 mandates.

Targets (196
starring Boris Karloff, directed by Peter Bogdanovich and, produced by *clears throat and enunciates carefully*, America's greatest film maker, Roger Corman.
"A startling directorial debut by Peter Bogdanovich mixes an homage to Boris Karloff horror films with a timely sniper story to create a thriller with modern baggage and old school shock and awe." Roger Ebert was less enthusiastic, stating in his review that the movie would have been better without Karloff's scenes which I find thick headed and offensive. On the other hand, the always correct and brilliant Quentin Tarantino stated "It was one of the most powerful films of 1968 and one of the greatest directorial debuts of all time. And I believe the best film ever produced by Roger Corman."

This has always been a losing argument. Unless the documents specifically name Trump as a pedo, the entire left will claim coverup. Many on the right have their own pet name that, if not named, will make them believe there is a coverup.
I am personally of the belief that the entire chain of evidence has hopelessly been compromised. I believe that many of the victims helped victimize others. Girls recruited and compromised other girls. This makes the task of protecting victims a Sisyphean task.
I also believe the juiciest proof of pedo activity is squirreled away in NSA, CIA, or other private intelligence hides far away from Trump's investigators. Think about it. Imagine a CIA guy who could tell Bill Gates to do anything he wanted. Would he give up that power? Especially if nobody but him knows where the videos are?

Every reaction or non-reaction is always framed as "overreaction" regardless (e.g. the retarded racist Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, Don Scott, publicly stated that President Trump shot an unarmed white woman in the face in Minneapolis).
Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act on May 26, 2020 -- the first night of the Domestic Terrorist Burning, Looting, and Murdering riots -- and sent in the National Guard and/or US Military with orders to disperse or be shot.
And that would have been the end of that.

It's not just violence that's being normalized. Academics and "experts" are normalizing all kinds of vices. Promiscuous sex, drugs, gambling, divorce, loss of religious sentiments, destruction of the family. All of which fall most heavily on the poor they purport to defend.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at January 20, 2026 11:13 AM (tgvbd)
The left sees violence as a dial- you can get a little violent, or a lot violent, but you can tone it down if it gets too much.
The right sees it as a switch. Either we are a peaceful republic or it's all out war.
If the left keeps playing with their dial, they might flip the switch because they don't actually realize they're playing with fire.

Kurt Schlichter has thoughts. I go back and forth, not because I'm a RINO but because I'm interested in having the biggest impact.
There’s talk of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. No, he should keep that in his pocket. Remember, you see the individual encounters in Minnesota all over social media and the cable news, but there are only a few of them. The whole city is not in flames. It’s just a few fights, and there are 3,000 agents there. There’s no need to change the scenario and allow the left to alter the focus by putting the military on the street. Remember, they changed the focus from enabling Somali fraud to ICE being mean and shooting moronic lesbians who tried to run them over. We don’t need to slow down what ICE is doing. We need to accelerate it.

More people joining in creates and reinforces a kind of vortex that first pulls in those who are moderately aligned. The vortex reaches a critical mass that pulls in the mildly aligned, and under the right circumstances, pulls in otherwise reluctant participants who fear non-participation will make them stand out as conspicuously as the original Solitary Dancer.
This is what is playing out in Minnesota. The vortex is going after the reluctant participants. This is new. The Summer of Floyd lacked this component. How this gets dealt with determines our future, IMO...

There are more media types and wannabe influencers at these riots than actual rioters. This is nowhere near the Saint Floyd Riots.
Meanwhile, ICE is still in MN and actually increased its presence and enforcement action. We are winning. Stay the course.

Do the lawfare, for sure. You have to be seen making a lawful response to these provocations.

Maybe? The industrial revolution was certainly coming to the plantations and tractors are cheaper than humans in the long run. But you (the plantation owner) have to have a pretty good financial cushion to be able to see the long run and human stoop labor remains a thing even on some farms today. Hence the (perceived) "need" for cheap immigrant labor.

In most cases, the "left" defines Marxists and Marx-like advocates. The "right" is everybody that does not want to go all the way to the end of one of those narratives, or advance to the "next step".
Interesting thing is that fascists at least want to go to the next step: the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat". But its different in their version; the goal of the state is not to whip people into shape until they're ready to live in communes forever, but simply serve out the needs of the nation. The fascist state is simply supposed to be the DotP as the *end* state of "progress".
They are "right" because they would not put the state to the purpose of the "6th and final stage of history".

My guess is slavery would have faded away by about 1880 anyway. It was rapidly becoming economically untenable.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 20, 2026 11:33 AM (8zz6B)
They economics of slavery had already disappeared by 1860. The reason the south wanted slavery expanded to the territories is because at that time the most valuable things about a slave was his (and her) ability to make more slaves. The south needed an outlet for these "new" slaves to keep it economically viable.
...
Yes, breeding humans is particularly disgusting. There were individuals on the South side that were good people, but the South's cause was seriously evil. (And sadly, actual concerns about the extent of federal power were swallowed up in the evils of slavery.)

Trump & Co recently released a report on US global strategic priorities:
1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine
2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1
3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1
"Greenland" is clearly part of #1.
But it's also #3. Denmark has sovereignty over Greenland only in a nominal way for historic reasons now obscure. You'd think our NATO allies would appreciate our strategic interest and play along. But no.
By sending a token resistance force our NATO allies are proving that the Alliance is long past its expiration.
We should offer Greenlanders the same deal we give Puerto Ricans.
And give every adult a free Polaris snowmobile.
Trump knows how to close a deal.

Although it is common in English to make "gulag" a common noun and to pluralize it, in Russian it is an acronym, GULAG, standing for "Glávnoye upravléniye ispravítel'no-trudovýkh lageréy" or "Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps"), and was the name for the entire labor-camp system. So, not a common noun, and not capable of being pluralized.

90% of Danes can't locate GL on a map. 75% didn't even know their country "owned" it. Probably 50% of Danes never even heard of GL before.
Denmark would love to unload GL and its flocks of parasite squatters. If someone like Obama was president and wanted GL, the deal would already be done. But nobody will ever give Trump the satisfaction of a major territorial expansion.

Maybe? The industrial revolution was certainly coming to the plantations and tractors are cheaper than humans in the long run. But you (the plantation owner) have to have a pretty good financial cushion to be able to see the long run and human stoop labor remains a thing even on some farms today. Hence the (perceived) "need" for cheap immigrant labor.

Women in the US have NEVER been chattel, at least none that were not also slaves.
Women were married off early because life was hard and EVERYONE had terrible lives. Sometimes it was worse for the women. Sometimes it was worse for the men.
Most men were working full time as an adult by age 13 at the same time women were being married off at that age. Were men chattel because of that?

But it's decision the state makes. Enslave parts of the population or let "free citizens" take others as their own property under their own prerogative. A veneer of ideology could not last long in the latter scenario, since capital itself is "evil" and humans are not to be taken as capital.
Marxists would see private "human capital" as the worst form of "Capitalism". It's why "advanced" civilizations can enslave without violating the ethic against "chattel slavery".

The timing, language and even shared errors across the posts prompted some to question whether the messaging may have been coordinated.
Despite posts characterizing the bill as an effort led by Democrats and “Never-Trumpers,” the legislation was introduced by Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and has no Democratic sponsors.

Marxists would see private "human capital" as the worst form of "Capitalism". It's why "advanced" civilizations can enslave without violating the ethic against "chattel slavery".
Ah, now I get your point. Interesting.

It's actually remarkable for a guy, who I think, likes to be liked.
All of Trump's previous liberal positions can be explained by the idea that Trump likes to liked.
Were that the case, it takes amazing nerve to have that kind of energy and yet weather any amount of furor against you.
The part of me that got sick of Trump on the Apprentice is still amazed that I can heap so much praise on this guy for anything. He's simply the best president of my lifetime.

However, nothing Trump said in the J-6 rally approaches Walz contention that ICE is going "door-to-door" asking "where the People of Color are at".
That's a patent lie, and it stirs up violent reaction in its target group so that they claim they are "protecting their neighborhoods" (Not against forcible sodomy of children, as the record shows.)
Chris Plante did a brilliant subversion of Mayor Fried's statement that "thousands of people who don't share their values" invaded Mini-appletini. Since, Fried does not mean that about the vast number of immigrants dropped off in the city, then those immigrants--who know little about American values--must share Fried's values. Such as forcible sodomy on children.
ICE does not share that value. So Fried is right.

The initial false claim the FNM made about Karen Deathwheels is that she was just a normal mom who ended up blocking ICE accidentally.
The give away was in one of the released videos an ICE agent checks their license plate while lesbo wife bleats that its the same number they've been checking all day.
Making sure to have their license plates will make it easier to identify Karens from "normal moms" and will make everyone safer...

=====
Issue polling is rife with major issues, especially regarding the phrasing of questions.
A YouGov poll getting 45% to disapprove of ICE? Considering YouGov can barely be considered a poll...that's nothing.
Simply ask "Should the US deport all illegals" and you'll still get solid majorities.
Plus, now that activists are afraid of confronting ICE directly (lots of arrests over the last couple of weeks for obstruction), and suddenly the theater of ICE diminishes.

The painting is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is praised for its dramatic depiction of the threatening mood of blackening skies and eerily illuminated terrain prior to the storm itself. The painting has been connected to mounting tensions before the Civil War, which were often expressed in terms of natural imagery

Yes. Just once as well. Was walking from bus stop to house after being sent home just 2 hours into the school day Superintendent lost his job over sending the kids to school that day. Bus almost went off the road before even getting to our stop, so he definitely deserved it. An eighth-mile walk in blizzard conditions seems very long. Fortunately, the van was parked at the bottom of the hill so sister, neighbor girl, and I listened to the thunder while resting out of the wind for a few minutes before finishing our walk.

From his The Rake's Progress series, we see the sozzled rake having his pocket picked by a prostitute. But I want to draw your attention to the two women at the left of the painting.
The one taking off her stockings was known as a "posture moll." For a fee, she would strip naked and then, standing on the mirrored plate held up by the old woman with a candle behind her, let herself be examined from all angles and positions. The moll, however, was NOT a prostitute and you were not allowed to touch her.
Thus endeth today's lesson on Georgian sex practices.

California is working to achieve these things. In the last year, it's become harder to get it done.
They've almost completed their unanticipated expulsion of Hollywood.
California losing over $1B to rival states for film, TV production — despite Newsom tax incentives
California saw 20% fewer movie and TV projects filming in the state compared to a year ago...
The slump came even after Democrat Newsom signed legislation doubling California’s film and TV tax credit program from $330 million to $750 million annually, in an effort to keep such projects local.
“Although our overall numbers remain low, there are dozens of incentivized projects that have yet to begin filming,” FilmLA Vice President Philip Sokoloski told The Hollywood Reporter, urging patience as the expanded incentives begin to take effect.
Don't worry, we'll make it up on low volume!!!

Well, there all movie threads..
I liked Knives Out so much I decided to check out some other Rian Johnson films and so watched Brick, a noir set in high school. I pretty much liked it although it clearly is not the polished, professional work of his later films. For example, it can be hard to follow based on the high school gangster patter. "Lunch" has a special meaning. Who or where one eats lunch indicates his associates. Also, the film is almost entirely lacking in humor. Shot at his own high school, Johnson said it's not how high was but how it felt.

A bit of home here since I grew up on Narragansett Bay. I love the way Heade captures the light and how it effects colors as a storm approaches. It is a very different thing from regular sunlight. The painting also shows how calm everything gets before the front comes through. The sailboat is moving calmly and the water is flat and dark. Literally the calm before the storm. It's a peaceful summer scene on the protected areas of the bay, probably on the western side. I really like the man and his pup sitting peacefully, watching the weather.

I was tempted to pay whatever it cost, fly up and go to one of the games. But then I would have to go to Seattle. This was a very close call. When I lived in Lower Queen Anne McHugh's was an excellent place to watch the Seahawks - total madhouse. Plus the largest Steeler's fan club in the country outside of PA. Sadly, McHugh's is going to be mort soon.

I did wonder what your comment had to do with my comment that you attached it to.

The problem there is less the imported voters and more that the elected Republican governor and SecState refused to stop the Democrats from cheating. Apparently they're allowed to beat Stacy Abrams as long as they let Warnock win.

"Breaking Bad" was originally going to be filmed in Riverside CA. The setting was changed to New Mexico because it was much cheaper to film there.

Funny how Mongolia, Tennessee, medieval England, S Korea, Sub-Saharan Africa, 30 different alien planets, Morocco, S Vietnam etc all look like Acton, CA

This particular painting is nicely detailed but it needed a bit of brightener. (There's not enough silvery gray in the background and the lake looks like a peat marsh.)
However, the artist has quite a lovely body of work; birds, flowers & other colorful still-lives. I would consider hanging some of his paintings.
Thanks.
